Real World MPG by Owners (gas non-hybrid 4Runner) - Post Yours ⛽️

[ah4rsr5]

The only way to get accurate MG estimates is going based off the actual consumption. The onboard computers are estimates (Usually inaccurate) at best. Ive used an App like Fuelly on all my vehicles that I track fill-up by fill-up based on actual consumption. We should have our Platinum here in a week or so. Once we get through a few fill-up I'll post here.

This is true... although what's showing on my onboard computer is lower than actual calculations by 0.5mpg.

So if it shows 22.5mpg on my screen, it's usually calculated at 23mpg

5k update. Still sitting around 21.5mpg. I have noticed in the last month by mpgs have dropped by about 1mpg. Not sure if this is due to the fact that it’s been super hot here and I’m cranking the AC on most drives.

I'm getting into the habit of resetting the average fuel economy whenever I fill up. My latest is 20.8 which is operating under the following conditions: city driving, Normal drive mode, A/C on, elevation above 5000 feet.

I'm now going to try a tank's worth of Eco drive mode.

I did a 55-mile mpg test with my 6th generation SR5 (52 miles of highway / ~3 miles of stop & go). I got 27.5 mpg. The cruise control was set on 70mph, several hundred feet above sea level, no wind, ~80 degrees and the air dam attached. I verified this by the gas being topped off before and after.

Over 4200 miles. I reset at every tank full. Always 87. 50-50 city highway on eco mode. Very conservative drive style, getting 24 MPG and higher on each tank. Accelerate slowly, anticipate braking and allow to slow down by coasting. Drive speed max 55-60 MPH. In all very boring drive style but exiting MPG.

Yup I get the same!
Tested out driving in Sports mode and a little more zip and quick acceleration and I average 21-22... not much difference for more fun!

Question for folks with larger than stock tires: When you put on larger tires, is there a setting somewhere in the car's system to tell it that? If not then MPG calculations will all be wrong, whether you look at the dash display or calculate it based on how much fuel you put in at the pump. I can see some difference in actual mileage, but I would not think all that much.
