At 2k miles, removed arb roof rack. A 35 mile trip to work mostly highway at standard speeds 60-70 normal mode has to be my best record yet

how much did the roof rack affect your mpg? I get around the same mpg as you're showing !

I just hand calculated when I filled up today. MPG was 22.1. The truck was showing 21.9 MPG. We have right at 1300 miles.

I was getting 22-23 with the arb rack and 25-26 without it, plus this rare 27 if im patient.

I’m just over 2000 miles on my SR5, mainly city driving on 87 octane. Mostly normal mode after getting past the break in period. I’m right at 20.7 mpg average after correcting for bigger tires. This is right about what I’d expect for monthly city driving according to the EPA numbers. My 5th gen was right at 16.5 for the same driving pattern. On longer highway trips I’m getting an extra 3-4mpg, but they aren’t often enough to raise the overall average.

Now that we have many owners, it'd be helpful to know what MPG you're getting. Please post your 2025 4Runner's

MPG figure
How many miles so far
What octane gas you run
% mix of city / highway
Drive Mode used - Sports, Eco
Driving style (conservative, sporty)

21.9
503!
91 unleaded
25/75 city/highway
Drive mode... no idea. Haven't changed factory settings.

Last tank was finally no city driving. It was a mix of high speed highway, moderate and low speed 2 lane and a bit of 4WD. Normal drive mode, 87 octane and 23.6mpg calculated.

Just took our first road trip out of town. Pleasantly surprised at 19.7 MPG from Austin > Houston going 75-80 with a car full of stuff and a dog. My old 5th gen would've gotten 15.

Also, the 6th gen now shows up on fuelly. Keep logging those tanks!

The MPG computer is incredibly erratic (and kind of scatterbrained, IMO).

Drove 2500 miles in in first two weeks, sadly. Started on 87 first few tanks because it was sworn I didn't need more. Averaged 14-17mpg.

Driving like a granny, following tips within this forum, trying to see what can be done to maximize the mpg, and it's just not very rewarding thus far.

Been using premium since the first few fill ups and it's "improved" to 18.2 mpg on eco (true calculations based on mileage and number of gallons to fill tank). Switched to normal after yesterday's fill up to see how that goes. Also - I was on empty and it took only 15.5 gallons to fill it. Not sure what to think about that.

Stop using eco mode. It gives me over 1mpg worse on average. It's kind of a known thing with all the new toyotas including tundra andd land cruiser that eco mode isnt actually more efficient. Also this is the non-hybrid thread. There is an MPG thread for the hybrid on here too somewhere.
