The title says it all- What do you average for MPG with your Tundra? Please list your engine as well.

I have an '07 DC 5.7L, and tracking my mileage with Fuelly.com, I average 15.9 mpg, with a best of 16.5 mpg. I have only owned my Tundra for a month now.

I got nearly 19mpg hand calculated in my Crewmax before but the 60-65mph range is the sweet spot. You have to plan everything carefully including merging and lane changes to minimize throttle use.

Went to about 16-17 at 70 mph, 15 at 75 mph, and low teens at 80 and above. I have owned the truck for 6 years and been averaging low teens on the highway for 5 years and 364 days. Once I saw nearly 19mpg the first day after I bought it I said "Damn, that's impressive for such a huge powerful truck. Too bad I'll never get that again."

3 weeks of ownership, 5.7L motor, purposely gentle on the pedal trying to see what best mpg it can do....510 miles, pretty much 50:50 combined freeway and city....

15.0 mpg


Not sure how some are reporting 20+? They must have the 4.6L and drive downhill all the time :dunno:

Who has bragging rights here for best mileage?

I've had my truck for 2 weeks now and have finally burned a tankful of gas.

I've been milking the throttle to get the best mileage and have been easy on the gas, especially since I'm still in the process of breaking-in the truck.

After a tankful, my monitor display computer is showing 15.3 MPG.

So, if you have the highest MPG, post it here with a photo. YOu have bragging right!
Since I have 15.3, and I know that it can do better I won't bother at this point.

So post your YEAR, 4x4 or 4x2, and Engine size.

if you have the highest number, we expect to see proof. :)

And no cheating! don't reset the computer and hit highways and snap a photo while you are driving, this is dangerous and I won't sanction it. You should have a tankful or two in terms of averages.

2015 Tundra 4x4 with 5.7 engine:

15.3 MPG

your breaking in your truck all wrong.

light'em up leaving the dealer lot and drive it like your going to drive it.>:D

:lame::thumbdown:

and no-one should care about the mileage, it's a 6Klb brick

5.7L 4x4 CM, and I swear after the lastest recall and ECU flash my mileage has gone the wrong way. I'm lucky to get 14mpg babying the pedal (which I hate to do in this thing).

it's too east to fudge on a tundra anyway with the way the read out is

for instance here is one of mine from when I first got it and wanted to see if it was better than my tundra on the first trip I took.

you can't fudge it since it has the amount of time, ave speed, distance and MPG all on one screen that you can only reset it all at once so you know your looking at 8 hours at an average speed of 67 for 538 miles. So I was carrying a speed most times of 75-80 to keep that high of an average including stops and traffic.

otherwise you can just reset the tundra one on the highway for 100 miles and poof, hey guys, I got 21 MPG



I still say a better contest is who gets the worst>:D
