Hybrid Real World MPG (iForce Max) - post your model, specs, general driving conditions, results:

[Joestac]

Just hit 1300 miles on my TH. Average since birth is sitting at 18.6. I came back to work this week, so that is hitting heavy Austin traffic and an hour drive home. I run in normal mode and put 93 Exxon in the tank.

91 octane here. In sport mode 100% of the time and floor it everywhere I can. Usually between 18.5 and 19 mpg.

Got my Hybrid premium on 12/3, did a 600 mile break in, and then a 3000 mile road trip. I think I averaged about 72-74 miles an hour and got 19.6 in ECO mode. Only two people and stuff. I was hoping for a little better. Maybe it will improve slightly as it breaks in more.
I did remove the air dam right away. I assumed I would end up breaking that off pretty quickly on some dirt tracks.

I am a mile shy of 20K. Mostly ECO mode and 87 octane.
Tracking tank fill ups since approx.: 600 miles

Stock Trailhunter, mostly 91 octane but some 88 as well, elevation average about 5k feet. The city/highway percentages can be ignored, I don't use the slider on fuelly. Most of my driving is interstate.

TRD Pro, ~4700 miles, ECO mode, 87 octane, commuting about 60 miles per day mixed city/hwy traffic, not aggressive driving. In the summer I was getting ~21/22 mpg. Now since winter hit New England, I’m at 19.6/19.7 mpg.
Has anyone tried or know anyone who has used those “performance chips” that are advertised to gain 2-3 mpg (I.e. “evolvchips”)?? Are they legit, or bogus?

I can answer for 34s (well 33.7s). See entry above. Its gotten worse with cold and TPMS issue limiting engine shutdown on my Hybrid ORP - will post another update at some point.

TRD ORP Hybrid - Normal mode
Air Dam on; OEM wheels/tires: 22 MPG average over 17 fill-ups and ~ 6k miles
Air dam off; TRD PRO wheels w/ 285/70R18 Toyo A/T III E-load (57#): 18 MPG average over 8 fill-ups and 2.4k miles - includes 3.4% milage adjustment to account for difference in tire size (i.e., odometer correction)

Bottom line: bigger heavier tires reduced milage by 4 MPGs on average. And reduce total 19 gal range by ~ 75 miles (~418 to 342)

I think your estimate is reasonable - since fitting 35s almost certainly means lifting the rig which will result in increased air resistance (in addition to the rolling resistance and rolling weight increase from the 35s). And range is the right question for folks to be considering. (I guess the hard core overlanders will carry lots of extra fuel) - I've done a bunch of one day off-road excursions and have fueled up on the way every time - don't want to find myself on fumes on the trail.

I can confirm for you that with my Pro lifted on WCD lift, 35" Baja Boss tires, Prinsu Pro Rack (yes, these racks make a huge difference in MPG decrease because of drag), Rago steel bumper, my MPG currently is 15.6.

That said, I'm getting 15.6 now with 73lbs Baja Boss' in load D (35x12.5r18). My other 35s were Recon Grapplers in SL load and only weighed 53lbs each (295/70/18). When I had my Recons, my MPG was 17.1.

35s come in many variations and affect MPG widely. What matters is weight and width. Choose wisely based on what you prioritize (looks vs function, etc).

I have noticed after I put my Prinsu rack on my mpg dropped from 19.9 to 19.3/19.4 under same driving patterns. I've been using 91 octane in Colorado.

17.5 mpg via fuelly, 17.7 via dash calculation. 3,000 miles.

The fuel economy is terrible, and I cannot understand why. I came from a 5th gen and I reliability got 20 mpg, whether on my suburban drive to work or highway (typically cruising at 75). I drive reasonably conservative, and even trying to baby my 6th gen I cannot get the mileage up to anywhere near the advertised 23 mpg. The highway range is what really irks me.

Here is a great example of the poor mileage: 90 miles, highway, lightly hilly with a net loss in elevation, light traffic, cruise control, vehicle reports 68 mph average and 16.8 mpg. Wtf!?!?

I did bring my vehicle to the deal for diagnostics and they reported everything was within spec.

TRD Pro.
Regular gas.
No mods.
Eco or normal, I see no difference.
