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

I've noticed my mileage is less if I top off my tank vs wait till down closer to 1/4 tank left. Averages out better I guess.

35 mile trip on Houston highways. 35 miles there and back. 27mpg there/26.9mpg back. Not bad for 70 miles...

TRD Pro Mudbath
17-18 city
21-22 highway

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)
Notes:
- replaced plastic skids with LC front skid (steel - same as TH) - 21.9 vs 22 MPG on OEM set-up (too small to judge impact).
- last 5 fillups were with OEM setup (incl Air Dam & wheels/tires) replaced
Bottom line: bigger heavier tires reduce milage by 4 MPGs on average. And reduce total 19 gal range by ~ 75 miles (~418 to 342)

Is this normal? 13-14 mpg??? Should I see a dealer???

TRD Pro. Only had her 3 weeks, averaging 19.4 overall (calculated on miles driven and fuel used). Normal mode, mix of highway/city, Costco 93 octane.

what drive mode are you using? How heavy is your foot? Are you always climbing hills/mountains? Idling a lot? Towing?

No Towing whatsoever,
Eco and Normal modes - mostly Normal
Short local trips mid-week- light-medium foot (no difference). Occasional heavy on-ramps.
Long highway weekends cruising 70-80

200+ mile highway still crazy low mpg

assuming this is DTE right after fill-up. Note that at 0 miles DTE, you have ~1.8- 2.0 gallons in the 19 gallon tank still.
251 x 1.034 = ~260 miles adjusted DTE (for larger wheels)
260/17 = 15.3 MPG
Not great, but in the range I've experienced if much of your driving is city. (e.g., with same size tires I get 10-13 MPG on the trip calculator for my <2 mile "commute" with stop lights.)
My worst ever tank was 15.1 MPG that included a healthy proportion of 4LO off-road (a sure fire way to lower gas milage:>)
If you are concerned, I suggest actually tracking milage based on the gas you put in and the distance traveled with adjustment for tires.
Also, the DTE appears to be based on the last 30 or so miles traveled, so it can vary a lot depending on what you were doing for those miles just before filling up. (I'd like to know the precise DTE algorithm but it is elusive.)

251 x 1.034 = ~260 miles adjusted DTE (for larger wheels)

Correction, the Wildpeaks are true 34" tires so you need a different adjustment. Not positive but I think its 4.3%
so: 251 * 1.043 = ~ 262
262/17 = ~15.4 (Ok, not that big a difference but over many miles it does matter)

AND, those Falkens are HEAVY (like 68# in the E load) - which is a definite factor (my Toyos are 57# in the same size - vs 37# for my stock Michelins - and I think 41-42# for your stock Toyos)

I'm usually in ECO, 60/40 hwy/city and easily get 24+. I got 30mpg last weekend on a 70mile round trip.

The new tires will have an effect for sure, but not 6-10mpg. I've noticed my 27-30mpg range @ 65-70mph significantly drops as soon as I hit 73-75mph. I've never gotten below 19.

City driving will kill your mpg stats...

Very helpful thank you. FWIW I have not used 4WD H or L yet lol. Good to know I'm not out of the ballpark for what I have/do.

My Falkens are C load

My Falkens are C load

Yep - and they are 68# (I'm looking at the Falken spec sheet - looks like they come only in C - so my error above). Makes a huge difference in MPG (this statement is based on comparison of lots of miles with and without heavier tires - I'm not just guessing here. See my recent post in Hybrid Real-world milage.)
