The Cty/Hwy is just a guess. I wish there was a way to get that from the system e.g. average speed since last reset.

Abysmal, 14-16

12-13mpg on my first tank. My commute is 100% city and my daily morning gym run consists of an underground parkade ramp, three 4-way stops, and about 4 stop lights that are about 10s apart. Same route in my 2022 Offroad premium with AT tires was also in that 12-13mpg range.

How is everyone getting such horrific mpg's? That's worse than the previous gas guzzeling gen and this is a 4 cyl turbo. Heck, I got 17 mpg on my V6 twin turbo bronco lifted 2" with 35's.

 

[Doofy]

I am getting the same or worse gas mileage compared to my 2021 5th gen limited

 

[quadna71]

I was getting about 21 mpg for the first 2500 miles but now I'm getting about 19.5 over the last 1500 miles. Not sure if there was a change in the 4Runner, change to winter gas, or if now I am babying it less and just driving without concern for mileage.

I expect the horrible mpg in my case due to my route plus literally all city driving. I am also doing full stops at these 4-way stops. Its been pretty accurate where whatever vehicle i own, its about 2-3L/100km worse than advertised (M3 and 5th gen 4Runner). I have a feeling this 6th gen will improve a bit as i noticed looking at my fuelly logs my 5th gen got better ~5k kms in. Currently at 300km in the 6th gen.
