Replying to: kpri101 (Nov 14, 2007 10:35 am) Yes,unfortunately, the best mileage trucks are the Tacoma 2 wheel drive 4 cylinder (I get 20 city, 26 highway), or the Ranger/Mazda 4 cylinder, which I believe does a little better. If you get a V6 Tacoma, you might as well buy Ford/GM 6 cylinder trucks.

Replying to: kpri101 (Nov 14, 2007 10:35 am) If you have a lot of short city trips,you are not going to get good mpg in any vehicle. Just check it when you go on a highway trip.

Replying to: tank5 (May 20, 2007 6:43 pm) I'm in a similar situation as you, I'm about to trade in my Silverado Crew Cab getting about 16 to 16.5 average mostly city for a 2.7L Taco Auto expecting to average about 20 - 22. Just want to know if you think it was worth it to downsize from the nice comfortable truck.
#288 of 350 BAD MPG by nmatzkvech Feb 15, 2008 (12:52 pm)
I have a 2006 Quad Cab V6 TRD 4X4 with around 29000 miles, and have recently been getting horrible gas milage!! Since I bought the truck new the only thing I have done is put new larger tires on it. 285/75/16. Since the tire change I have been getting about 12mpg!! Yeah thats 12! I could get better milage in a dodge!! I was getting around 20.5 before the change. Does anyone think that tires make that much of a difference or could it be something else??

Replying to: nmatzkvech (Feb 15, 2008 12:52 pm) Check your odometer with GPS on a long trip and you will likely find it is substantially off. I put 265/75R16's in place of the stock 265/70R16's and measured a 6.5% change. I have to multiply mileage on the odometer by 1.065 to get an accurate measurement of the distance I've travelled. You can also get an idea using one of the many tire circumference calculators that are out there. Replies to this message: xraymikey (Apr 09, 2008 3:34 am)
#290 of 350 Big and small truck mpg by dadoftay Feb 29, 2008 (6:30 pm)
I was looking to see what you guys were getting at the pump. I was thinking the Tacoma may have the answer. I have a GMC Safari that can't get past 18mpg no matter what. I just drove a 320 mile all highway trip that I set the cruise control at 70mph (the posted speed) and I turned 17.4mpg. A guy who works with me has a Honda Odyssey and he gets high teens all the time (apparently low for those). Yet, our safety vendor has a 07 Tahoe and he routinely gets 20-22 on the highway. I'm an agressive driver and maybe he's not?? Makes me crazy though as I love his Tahoe compared to my van. Seems like it happens to you guys too. Are you guys in the 20mpg club easy going or is it just one of those things?

#293 of 350 19 city, 25 highway - 4 cylinder, auto, 2007 Tacoma by matt51 Mar 01, 2008 (6:58 pm)
base model, standard cab. Ride without load is considerably harsher than my 2006 GMC Sierra. 25 mpg highway at 70 mph, no cruise. Replies to this message: sacsmitty (Mar 03, 2008 11:04 am) matt51 (Mar 04, 2008 6:34 pm)

Replying to: matt51 (Mar 01, 2008 6:58 pm) I own a 2007 RWD Tundra CrewMax with the iForce 5.7L V8. I love the truck but with the rising gas prices I'm starting to wonder if I made a mistake. I am considering trading it in for a V6 Tacoma DC.   My around town mileage is 12-13, 18-19 highway. From reading this thread it doesn't look like I'll be gaining anything.   Any thoughts or advice are appreciated. Replies to this message: matt51 (Mar 04, 2008 6:34 pm)
