#43 of 51 Want Higher MPG?? by winghunter Feb 28, 2009 (9:33 am)
The most effective way to improve gas mileage is give your engine all the air it can handle and the fastest way of getting rid of exhaust.   Cold Air Intakes, RAM Air Hoods and CAT Back Dual Exhausts.   Do your research and you won't sacrifice your quiet ride but, you'll have a very noticeable HP increase and higher mpg only if you can keep your foot from the thrill of stomping on the gas.
#44 of 51 Re: 2004 Tundra SR5 4x4 Access cab with 4.7L gets 16mpg [tru2chevy] by mikon May 18, 2009 (10:30 am)
Replying to: tru2chevy (Feb 03, 2008 10:06 am) I have two Tundras; viz, a2000 4x4 SR5 Access Cab w/shell & cattle guard and a 2006 4x4 Double-Cab Limited (no shell). Both have the 4.7 liter V8s (first at 245 HP/315 ft-lbs, second at 271 HP/345 ft-lbs). I have tracked every tank of gas since purchase of both.   The 2000 consistently gets 16.6 on E90 and 18.0 on 100% regular gasoline. I do a reasonable amount of off-roading in the CA Sierras with it (my GO-TO truck). A 6,000 mile trip in 2006 yielded 17.7 mpg overall while working a ranch for two months of hauling and towing, and I cruised cross-country at 95 mph for over two hours (w/no trailer) during the trip.   The 2006 has averaged 18.3 mpg overall since purchase on regular E90 gasoline, but is getting better mileage as it ages. I use full synthetic oil in both trucks.

Replying to: rambler16 (Feb 09, 2009 9:47 pm) I find that extremely hard to believe. I have a 2007 double cab with a 5.7 l engine and it has never even once exceeded 15 mpg regardless of what kind of driving (highway or city) and how hard I have driven it. How exactly did you calculate your mpg?
#46 of 51 MPG by lwittorf Jun 21, 2009 (8:52 pm)
Just bought a 08 tundra crew with 4.6 the 4 tanks I have ran have been 18.2 high 15.8 low the thing has 16k on it [it was a lease rig] am thinking of puting in a K&N filter and going to mobile 1 but I don't look for any better but I can always hope. I keep track of all the gas I put in so will report back after I have put more miles on it.
#47 of 51 First tow on a green engine by webgood Jun 24, 2009 (2:39 pm)
Our new '08 DC, just 1,200 miles on the odometer when we started-out from Iowa for a round trip of northern Wisconsin with a 4,200 lb.-loaded hybrid travel trailer, 2 adults and 200 lbs. of gear. After 1,250 miles over 8 days we averaged 12.51 MPG highway mileage on 2/3's interstate and 1/3 good 2-lane with the usual slow-downs for small towns. Pegged the cruise at 57-58, left it in automatic and did not use 'tow-haul mode'. This is actual mileage based on starting with a full tank when leaving town and filling-up as we rolled back in, not 'calculated' by the vehicle computer. I'm happy.
#48 of 51 Another recent mileage tracking by webgood Jun 28, 2009 (9:03 am)
On a roadtrip that was 98% interstate running 77-78 MPH for 99+ % of that, the rest 55 MPH secondary highway driving on our '08 4X4 DC with a total of 500 lbs. of passengers and light cargo, got 17.92 MPG based on actual gas usage, not by the computer.

#51 of 51 09 Crewmax by eharri3 Sep 21, 2009 (12:20 pm)
5.7, 4x4, SR5 with 18 inch wheels.   I broke her in with my first 800 mile road trip with 500 miles on the clock back in march. Got 18.7 all highway, going no faster than 65-70 mph, with no heavy throttle application. Incredible when I consider my 04 Dakota Quad Cab with 4x4 and 4.7 almost never beat that number and the truck was 1000 pounds lighter, 3.55 rear end as opposed to the Tundra with over 100 fewer horsepower.   Of course I haven't driven it like that or seen that mileage since. The other day some idiot stopped in front of me on the merging lane with 65 mph traffic flying by. I just floored it when I saw a small gap and the next car flying towards the on ramp never even got close to my rear end. Can't drive a truck that's capable of that for ultimate mileage, no matter how hard I try.
