My 05 SR5 is at 15.3 on the trip computer. 40K miles, mostly urban with 2 - 3 300 mile highway trips per month. I've got a Toyota Camry Hybrid on order (arriving in 2 weeks) and will keep the Sequoia for all its advantages, especially during a Minnesota winter. Gas is 89 octane w/ 10% ethanol. Has anyone done any research on the after market conversion to e-85 products for this vehicle?

I have a 2003 with 40k miles and average 14.5 mpg. That's with 70% city and 30% hwy driving using 87 octane. Trip computer says 16.5 avg, but checking tank to tank is always around 14.5.

I have a 2001 Limited Sequoia about 60%city and 40%highway and I only use regular gas since I bought it, according to the computer I'm doing 15.6 mpg but after I replaced 20"wheels it went down to 15.2 mpg but it was not that bad.

i immediately put a K/N filter. drilled several 1" holes in bottom of filter box to increase air flow, put in a tornado, and changed to AMSOIL 2000 synthetic 10w30. within 1000 miles i was getting, and still getting, 17.5 mpg. it sounds great when you put your foot in it to pass. it gives it that old 4 bbl intake sound. plus, it does get up and go.
try it. it is a modest investment for the results.
check AMSOIL. it is a oil that has to be bought through a dealer, not off the shelf. the guarentee is unbelievable. priced competively. i use it in my Porsche turbo, ford festiva, and toyota highlander. i have used it for too many years to remember. it has never let me down.
i'm anxious for the new sequoia. i got a feeling it is going to be too pricey. it will be replacing or into that land cruiser/lexus money. too bad!

I am consistently AVERAGING 18.5 MPG.
 
Amsoil synthetic oil. K& N filter. Goodyear TriPlex tires.
Awesome vehicle; now if I can get my rear lift gate handle replaced without losing a finger I will be good to go.

Chamaza, I just bought a 2005 Sequoia 4X4 Limited. The gas mileage tends to be below the 15/18 EPA rating. I read your post and am concerned about the AMSOIL and drilling holes in the filter box. Can you give me more details? If confident enough, I may do the same. Thank you. Mark

I have a question. So you replaced the normal air filter, drilled a couple 1" holes in the bottom of the box for more airflow and then put in a tornado. I am using AMSOIL Synthetic 10w30 already, but only getting 13-14 mpg with about 40% freeway and 60% city. Just wanted to know what your mileage was before and then after?

I saw someone post 17 avg for an 08 in the prices paid thread but have yet to see anyone confrim that #. I guessed it would be in the 13-14 with a mix of highway/city.
 
Are the 08's supposed to get better gas mi than previous models?
