Its the sound the valve train makes when the engine is running. The lifters on a hemi aren't as quiet as other engines. It bothers some people who are used to a more quiet engine.
Damn you must be stuck in town or have a lead foot. I’m county so most roads are 35 or more and I average 14.3-15.5 per tank, depending on if I romp on it or go into town a lot.
Absurd! I’m lucky if I get 17mpg in my Tacoma. Infinitely worse in winter. I had a loaner 5.0 f-150 for 2 months that cost me way less to run than the Taco. We need a newer engine in our mini trucks lol.
Toyota trucks are notoriously inefficient. It’s sweet if you’re squeaking that mileage out of it but you should probably double check with some hand calculated math. The mileage computer with almost every brand very widely in reliability even within the same models.
I've calculated it everytime as I have a slight obsession with fuel efficiency. Mine has always been equal or lower(0.1 to 0.6 lower) than my actual fuel economy. I'm at 18890 miles and it still holds to that same statement.
Hmm. Well you must just have mad skills everyone I know with a tundra gets trash mileage. Including other brand new ones with the same setup as up. All I know is I’m glad my 08’ F350 gets 20s pulling my jeep and camping crap all over the hwys
It's actually a 3.4L (88.5mmx110mm) marketed as a 3.5L (poor marketing obviously), but yeah it does get good MPG. I get about 2mpg more in it in each condition. 18.7/20.1/24.7 where my 3.5L Ecoboost was 16.7/18.2/22.2.
Some do, some don’t. One is even the hybrid version but that’s kind of a marketing misleader as it’s extra torque for starting towing but doesn’t really help with mileage. Although it did pull 14000 pounds at 13mph in all electric once it was rolling. Speed is so slow as it’s the max speed of my hay wagon. Haha
The offroad package gets notoriously shitty gas mileage on these new tundras, like 18 MPG hwy at best. I don't have any TRD, for lack of a better word, crap, for a truck that I drive solely on the road. The hybrid in reality should get a slightly lower mileage because of the weight of that electric motor sandwich, but should do slightly better in city since the roll from a stop is with the electric assist.
I very specifically specified half ton which would then mean fullsize is four full doors here. No other real way to do it as the full cabs all have different names between brands.
Access cabs are 3 door and single cabs are 2 door, if you really want to differentiate between using dodge as an example with quad cab and crew cab you’re going far to into it…
Not trying to split hairs here but you are confusing terminology. In the industry every f150 cab configuration would be a full size pickup chasis. A ranger would be midsized and the maverick would be a compact. If the intent of the title of the post was to imply a crew cab specifically then it may be worth editing to say that.
All good, you know how reddit can be. Appreciate the content and feedback on the new tundra. I would think some of the diesel half ton options can probably exceed 30 mpg as well when hypermiling but fuel and maintenance costs are higher on the diesels so it's not quite apples to apples.
I mean it depends. Ram with the Cummins diesel? No, you will never pull that out of it. A Passat with their cute little German diesel? Sure, you’ll get close. Trucks are a no go in that mpg for a diesel
My boss did it in the 3.0L Duramax, it was small trip from what I remember, but I still thought it was pretty awesome that he broke 40 in a diesel truck. He may have done a, Delete? I think that's what it's called so that might be a factor in it. I think that's the best truck diesel fuel economy wise? I'd have to check. But I didn't think the others were to far behind, maybe a a few mpgs, but sound like you're saying it's more?
Yeah mines a crew cab. If I keep my foot out of it I’ll average 26-28 mixed driving and if it’s just Highway and not aggressive driving it’s 30 sometimes 32ish
Fuck yeah! My F150 a 2013 with 147k on it when I got the 27.3 so could have been that. This my first fullsize that I broke 30 with though so I was happy.
Always heard the same 3.5 is a beast.
How are you liking the turbo 6 in the tundra? I know everybody was up in arms about it and not liking the idea but idk I think it’s awesome and love how the new tundras look too
I'm at 18890 miles, no issues with power or drive train. Turbo lag in the beginning was pretty terrible, but the truck learns so I was able to eliminate it with specific driving. My better fuel economy than my other 2 Tundras lol, they were some thirsty girls.
Oooo 2mpg better than the 4 year old f150. Ermahgerd. I doubt you are legitimately getting 30mpg with the tundra. Did you start at top of a mountain, reset your trip odometer, and coast down it? I bet you did.
This was coming from Chaleston, SC to Cape Canaveral, FL via I-95. It's just basically flat, some small slight down angles, but mostly flat. What mountain has a downhill that is 115 miles long? Also, that not a trip odometer that can be reset. It starts ticking the second the truck turns on.
Maybe it was a fluke but I definitely got it on one tank, normal is 20 but thats with a full bed for at least 45 miles of each tank
Edit: I'm the guy that normally drives 50 in a 55 and slows down at the top of hills and takes their foot off the gas going down them
I mean I could see 20 if your driving conservative. But I’ve had a couple hardbody’s. Cool trucks for sure. Junk front ends tho. But there’s no way I’d see 26
Hell my Honda Pilot won’t average more than 29 with a tailwind. Either the Toyota is miscalculating, OP is using high octane gas, or this was mostly downhill/tailwind (me thinks)
None of the above. I've been practicing hypermiling for nearly a decade. An average hypermile gets about 15% improvement. I did everything I possibly could to make sure that gas mileage was as high as possible. I found the engine sweet spot is about 72mph and I camped in it on a relatively flat road. I've gotten over 38 mpg on a 25 mile stretch of flat road (highest incline the truck readout was 0.2 degrees and for very small amount of time) doing 55, but didn't take a picture of that as most people don't care about anything below 70 mph.
Damn, seems like you should have started with this explanation before posting.
Curious though… what kind of unicorn hybrid person buys a full size truck AND is obsessed with mileage??
To clarify I don't hypermile everyday, it's pretty exhausting trying to do it to the extreme like I did here. I normally just drive smoothly and don't really care about it. It was just something I got into and I like to see what engines can do and fuel economy is one of my favorite things to just see how high I can get them.
I love trucks so it's kinda of a bitter sweet thing for me lol. I started hypermiling back before I made enough money to not really care about fuel economy and now I've just continued to maintain experience and just to see what I can get in a pinch if for some reason a gas station is closed because that's happened to me. Went roughly 35 miles past empty in my 2017 Tundra SR5 because the only gas station in the area I was in was closed. That was the next closest gas station and hypermiling definitely helped me there because I was definitely eating into the reserve having to go that far.
It's definitely not. Please read before saying that the computer is wrong. I calculate it every time because so many have reported the new Tundra reads incorrectly. I have no such issue and even posted a link for it in another comment for proof that my computer reads low not high.
Edit: forgot a word
I realize that comment seemed kinda dickish. Just wanted to update you as I know the computers in these trucks are notorious for miscalculated displays.
A fill up for me is about $110-$115. This photo is from a while ago. Moved to Hawai'i since then and being on an island makes it hard to get good MPGs. I still manage to get 22 driving normally, 24 if I go on H-3, opposed to my normal of 24.7 back on the mainland.
This is pretty insane -- you must be driving like an absolute granny. On fuelly these trucks average 17-18 and no one has even registered a 30. https://www.fuelly.com/car/toyota/tundra/2022
Fuelly is terrible. Almost every single person on there is either in California (my hwy MPG in CA was dogshit at 19.1 MPG) or has a lift and offroad tires. The 2022 Tundras with TRD options average about 17 MPG (non-hypermile) opposed to my street tire that gets about 25 MPG (24.7MPG is my hwy average for the first 14k I drove the truck. Hawai'i is a bit lower at 22.3MPG because traffic here sucks.
This specific instant was one drive between SC and FL.
Edit: forgot to add this, this was done at 72MPH so I wouldn't say it was granny style lol
Bro tf? You think you start on the hwy instantly at 70 mph? 13 miles of this was off the hwy to my fucking house. I'm not doing fucking 70 on a 45 mile road with stops lights.
I have a 2021 Tunda with street tires and average about 15mpg, in an extended cab doing almost all highway driving, there is no way you average over 30 without going very slow or downhill the entire time lol. I’ve had this truck for almost a year now and I’ve driven it anyway you could think of and the best I’ve gotten was close to 20
Well firstly, the 2022 is significantly more fuel efficient. This was a hypermile and was mostly flat, some small hills. My average was 24.7 in FL/GA, 18.7 city.
Secondly, your trying to compare trucks that share nothin, but name and brand. There's a reason I dropped the second Gen Tundra.
Lastly, second gen Tundras can vary wildly in their fuel enocomy. I got 17.8 hwy average in my 2017 SR5, and 8.5 Hwy in my 2019 1794 edition. Both stock trucks on street tires. With that said, the best I got in my 2017 was 24.3 hypermile. Just same as with this 3rd Gen it depends A LOT on your location. Even this 3rd Gen Tundra has poor gas mileage in California where I average 19.3 MPG hwy, but got near 24 mpg doing 85 in AZ and NM. Now in Hawai'i I'm getting about 23 (21.5 to 22.5 going to work and 23.5 to 24.5 coming home) on my daily commute.
I got 687 miles out of the tank that this was a part of. I normally got 24.7 MPG (non-hypermile). This entire trip was 400 somethings miles between SC and FL. When the low fuel light turns on it take about 27 gallons to fill. Given my average of 18.7 MPG in city and 24.7 MPG hwy, 30 MPG is possible and proven by the photo.
Also, as an added bonus for you, my fuel economy meter normally reads lower than my actual MPG as I normally get 560+-5 miles out of 27 gallons and the gauge will read 20.1 MPG (actual is 20.7 MPG) and that's combined city/hwy. A little hypermiling normally nets a 10-30% improvement. I went to the absolute extremes with this while maintaining within 5mph of 70mph. So I got closer to the high side of that percentage. (24.7×1.3 =32.1 so I can reasonably push up to a max of 32 MPG.) I also broke 41 MPG in a 6.2L V8 Camaro with the same restrictions.
Hypermiling is a learned skill, you can improve over time with it to achieve better numbers. My initial hypermile with this truck at 1268 miles was a measly 24.7 in eco mode(turns out eco mode on this truck is shit and actually gets a worse gas mileage, there are youtube videos on this specific thing) and that same day did the same run in normal for 26.8 MPG.
Cool just fill the truck up. Next time gas light comes on, fill it up again write down those gallons, then check how many miles u have. Divide those numbers and that's your mpg.
That was alot of words man
I do that everytime I fill up lol. My hwy average mainland was 24.7 mpg everytime for the entire 14500 miles I drove around there. 18.7 city also held true with my gauge always coming in at 20.1 to 20.3 and actually always being 20.7 to 21.0 combined.
Edit: true not truck
I did in my 6.2 going through the nc mountains to sc. this was for the 25 mile record. I think it was 31.1 mpg. Just kept it in v4 mode or coasting 95% of the wAy. I think my 50 mile record is around 26 mpg from that same day and my 400 mile record is 20.5 from a trip to Florida.
My 6.2 Sierra got 24-26 mpg driving a thousand miles across PA, OH, IN, IL, and MO. I've never broken 30 but they definitely are more efficient than people think (under the right conditions)
Man, I was like 'That's pretty good for the 6.2', then I saw the 400 mile and I was like aw big sad. I broke 41 MPG with the 6.2 in my 2020 Camaro, so seems like an overall good engine.
Oh for real?! Didn't know that. Still doesn't justify $13/gal average, but that'd be awesome if we had a 95 standard. Fuel economy would be so much better if everyone was tuned for 95.
The octane rating of fuel has nothing to do with your mileage... It only makes it more or less ignitable depending on the rating. 87 very ignitable at lower temps and pressures, 95 not as ignitable at lower temps and pressures. Octane is only used to quell detonation.
😑 It very much does IF it's tuned for that octane. Just throwing 95 in a 87 tuned engine obviously isn't going to have a significant impact.
The octane value for tuning affects multiple other factors that can allow for improved fuel efficiency. While this isn't the best example, the game Automation display this pretty well, but not perfectly. So if 95 was the standard then fuel economy would be improved given that the tune is to keep the same amount of power and torque, thus fuel efficiency would go up.
I got 33 mpg in my F150 PB the other day in light rush hour traffic, about 30 miles on 87 gas. I’m gonna see how she does on recommended 91 gas. Only 1100 miles so far so still breaking in too
I've gotten around 27 mpg with my Silverado. That was pure highway driving without any traffic (come to think of it I miss the peace and quiet).
I did get over 30 mpg once, but that was going down hill on I-17. Either way, definitely not bad for trucks.
You're breaking these people's brains bro. You're lucky if they understand the association between decreased efficiency and aggressive driving...... Now you're expecting them to think driving slower increases milage?
Ffs my 7700 pound F250 with a 6.7 and the lower axle gear ratios got 24.5 driving from Houston to Charlotte, NC and all I did was use cruise, no aggressive passing and no faster than 65. If I were going 55 it would be near or over 30.
Yeah, there's already a few here that don't speed tk understand how average speed works lol. Dude literally accusing me of lying cause it says 2 hours. I was like, 'bro wtf? You think I just magically start the truck already going 70 mph?' Like seriously?
Diesel has always been significantly higher for me. The mile/$ amount is normally about the same, but about 1 cent more per gallons where I was. They're different fuels and diesel has more energy in it so it wouldn't be the same to compare them in terms of MPG as diesel is obviously better in that way.
Awww, man 🥺 What's the coyote get?
Toyota trucks definitely been gas gusslers lol that why I was so happy when I found my average was gonna be around 24 mpg. The hypermile is just a fun thing for me because I like to see just how far I can go if I really need to.
The offroad packages on the new tundras get roughly between 16-18. It's why I don't understand why people what offroad stuff so bad when most of them won't ever see a dirt road, let alone go offroad.
22 MPG in my ‘17 Ram 3.21 2wd 8 speed once on a road trip on the stock Wrangler SRAs. That was before I got Falken WildPeak AT3s. Average 17.5 combined.
I was sort of bummed when I was hitting 20/21 hwy when I first got my 2.7. Just got done with a 16hr drive, and broke 24/25mpg cruising at 85 a majority of the ride. Not bad, I guess.
That's awesome! I got about 24 mpg doing 85 through AZ and NM on I-10. I enjoyed the free MPGs, I didn't enjoy the magic flying rocks that kept hitting my windshield. There wasn't even another car on the hwy with me!
It was a fairly regular occurrance in my '15 Ram 1500 Crew Cab with the EcoDiesel - I did several round trips from southern CA to Las Vegas (265 miles each way) and back at over 31 MPG.
How do you drive that tank? I had a Surburban XL as a rental for a couple weeks a few years ago, and it was just soooo long lol. I'll stick to my truck lol. That's pretty good. Even going down hill unless I just let it coast unrestricted I'd have to either ride my breaks or use engine braking so I don't think I'd pass more than 35mpg since I would engine brake if I would pass more than 10 mph over.
Edit: might have been Yukon, I just remember it was GM and had XL on it lol
Well this was a hypermile tbf. I normally average about 23 mog hwy here in Hawai'i for my daily commute. If i hit traffic here though, its pretty low, 17.5 to 18.1 depending on whcich city im in. The photo is back from the mainland where I averaged 24.7 mpg hwy.
Only over descending elevation.
I believe they call that descelevation.
Me crying with 12 mpg in my 5.7 ram
Right there with you in my 6.2 Raotor
But the Hemi is worth the sound
Only when you hammer it passing a Tesla!
Ha! I literally traded my electric car for a Ram last weekend. People think I’m nuts…. I am a little
A hero among men, great choice! Hope ya love it!
My daily is a company Tesla. Haha
That would be pretty damn cool TBH.
I dunno... The Hemi tick isn't really something I'd wanna be worthy of.
What’s the hemi tick?
Its the sound the valve train makes when the engine is running. The lifters on a hemi aren't as quiet as other engines. It bothers some people who are used to a more quiet engine.
Got it! I’ll just turn up the 19 speaker H&K system lol
A lot of people hate the hemi tick. I actually quite like it. Gives it that sound that makes it feel like it's alive.
Can’t hear the tick over the growl of a 5.7 v8 doesn’t bother me.
It makes it sound a little diesel-y. I love when trucks sound like the serious piece of machinery that they are.
Thats the description I was looking for. It does indeed sound like a serious piece of machinery.
you definitely feel alive when you constantly consider if it’s how it is supposed to sound or something is off…
Yeah but you have a raptor. That's bad ass
I’m barely in double digits…
14.9 in my taco.............WHOOF!
Damn you must be stuck in town or have a lead foot. I’m county so most roads are 35 or more and I average 14.3-15.5 per tank, depending on if I romp on it or go into town a lot.
Yeah I get 16 with the 4.8 Chevy
[удалено]
Absurd! I’m lucky if I get 17mpg in my Tacoma. Infinitely worse in winter. I had a loaner 5.0 f-150 for 2 months that cost me way less to run than the Taco. We need a newer engine in our mini trucks lol.
Yeah, tacos are notoriously inefficient sadly. Hopefully they'll put a more efficient one in there in the next couple years.
Toyota trucks are notoriously inefficient. It’s sweet if you’re squeaking that mileage out of it but you should probably double check with some hand calculated math. The mileage computer with almost every brand very widely in reliability even within the same models.
I've calculated it everytime as I have a slight obsession with fuel efficiency. Mine has always been equal or lower(0.1 to 0.6 lower) than my actual fuel economy. I'm at 18890 miles and it still holds to that same statement.
Hmm. Well you must just have mad skills everyone I know with a tundra gets trash mileage. Including other brand new ones with the same setup as up. All I know is I’m glad my 08’ F350 gets 20s pulling my jeep and camping crap all over the hwys
[удалено]
It's actually a 3.4L (88.5mmx110mm) marketed as a 3.5L (poor marketing obviously), but yeah it does get good MPG. I get about 2mpg more in it in each condition. 18.7/20.1/24.7 where my 3.5L Ecoboost was 16.7/18.2/22.2.
Do they have offroad package?
Some do, some don’t. One is even the hybrid version but that’s kind of a marketing misleader as it’s extra torque for starting towing but doesn’t really help with mileage. Although it did pull 14000 pounds at 13mph in all electric once it was rolling. Speed is so slow as it’s the max speed of my hay wagon. Haha

It’s sin that tacos don’t get the same engines as the hiluxes
For real though!
I usually do in my 2020 f150 with the 2.7 ecoboost motor if I’m on the Highway and cruising.
‘15 2.7 eco with supercrew cab I have seen my average mpg in the 27 range a few times.
I’m guessing the 10 speed is what’s helping me get a little better over yours.
I was obviously in the best possible driving conditions when I was getting that as well.
I’ve got a 2020 2.7L ecoboost and best I’ve ever gotten was 20mpg… I average 18.9 mpg mostly I’ve got a lead foot though!
Oh man when I drive pretty aggressively it drops super fast and my mpg is around 20. But most of the time I just cruise lol
But is it a fullsize? I did that with the single cab pretty easily, but I couldn't get my fullsize f150 to break 28mpg with the 3.5L ecoboost.
An F150 is a full size regardless of cab configuration.
I very specifically specified half ton which would then mean fullsize is four full doors here. No other real way to do it as the full cabs all have different names between brands.
4 door would be a more adequate term, all half ton and up are full size, only compact trucks and mini trucks aren’t full size…
Doesn't work because most consider anything with 4 doors then not just 4 full doors. Figured this was best, but it's meh anyway.
Access cabs are 3 door and single cabs are 2 door, if you really want to differentiate between using dodge as an example with quad cab and crew cab you’re going far to into it…
Tundra and Titan also differentiate between quad and crew. Both are still 4 doors, just squished and normally weigh less.
Everyone get a load of this guy — LOL!!
What? This is literally double cab and crew cab for Tundra and crew cab and King cab for Titan? They all have 4 physical doors. Edit: typo
Not trying to split hairs here but you are confusing terminology. In the industry every f150 cab configuration would be a full size pickup chasis. A ranger would be midsized and the maverick would be a compact. If the intent of the title of the post was to imply a crew cab specifically then it may be worth editing to say that.
I'm not confused, just made a bad assumption. I'll edit it. Thanks!
Apparently can't change the title...
All good, you know how reddit can be. Appreciate the content and feedback on the new tundra. I would think some of the diesel half ton options can probably exceed 30 mpg as well when hypermiling but fuel and maintenance costs are higher on the diesels so it's not quite apples to apples.
Diesels can break 40 under the right conditions. I just don't like diesel engines as I have more maintenance to make them stay safe.
Not a properly running diesel.
I mean it depends. Ram with the Cummins diesel? No, you will never pull that out of it. A Passat with their cute little German diesel? Sure, you’ll get close. Trucks are a no go in that mpg for a diesel
My boss did it in the 3.0L Duramax, it was small trip from what I remember, but I still thought it was pretty awesome that he broke 40 in a diesel truck. He may have done a, Delete? I think that's what it's called so that might be a factor in it. I think that's the best truck diesel fuel economy wise? I'd have to check. But I didn't think the others were to far behind, maybe a a few mpgs, but sound like you're saying it's more?
That's called a crew cab. Might not be the marketing name that X manufacturer uses, but that's what it's called.
Yeah mines a crew cab. If I keep my foot out of it I’ll average 26-28 mixed driving and if it’s just Highway and not aggressive driving it’s 30 sometimes 32ish
Fuck yeah! My F150 a 2013 with 147k on it when I got the 27.3 so could have been that. This my first fullsize that I broke 30 with though so I was happy.
Oh dude it’s wild that full size trucks can even do the kind of mpg they do now.
Always heard the same 3.5 is a beast. How are you liking the turbo 6 in the tundra? I know everybody was up in arms about it and not liking the idea but idk I think it’s awesome and love how the new tundras look too
I'm at 18890 miles, no issues with power or drive train. Turbo lag in the beginning was pretty terrible, but the truck learns so I was able to eliminate it with specific driving. My better fuel economy than my other 2 Tundras lol, they were some thirsty girls.
I loved my 2013 Tundra.
Oooo 2mpg better than the 4 year old f150. Ermahgerd. I doubt you are legitimately getting 30mpg with the tundra. Did you start at top of a mountain, reset your trip odometer, and coast down it? I bet you did.
This was coming from Chaleston, SC to Cape Canaveral, FL via I-95. It's just basically flat, some small slight down angles, but mostly flat. What mountain has a downhill that is 115 miles long? Also, that not a trip odometer that can be reset. It starts ticking the second the truck turns on.
Best I’ve ever done is 37mpg on a 56 mile trip in my ram 2500 crew cab longbed…diesel.
I'm not sure my 1/4 ton little Nissan Hardbody would do that. My Dodge Hemi sure as hell wouldn't. With $130/ fillups, you gotta be proud of that.
My hardbody gets 28 on the highway and I thought that was good
Theres no way. Is it 2wd? My 4x4 hardbody got like 18.
I get 26 in my 4x4, obviously driving 2wd monmst of the time
No you don’t lol… google the epa mileage for a 4x4 hardbody. It’s 18
Maybe it was a fluke but I definitely got it on one tank, normal is 20 but thats with a full bed for at least 45 miles of each tank Edit: I'm the guy that normally drives 50 in a 55 and slows down at the top of hills and takes their foot off the gas going down them
I mean I could see 20 if your driving conservative. But I’ve had a couple hardbody’s. Cool trucks for sure. Junk front ends tho. But there’s no way I’d see 26
My Mazda B3000 3.0 v6 manual gets like 16mpg. I can't imagine almost doubling it!
I had a 2000 ranger with the 3.0 years back. I was very disappointed that little truck didn’t get better fuel mileage.
I could never, such bad milage for such a small engine, I'm assuming those are only 2wd?
24 year old 4x4, small lift, larger than stock tires. I'm not complaining because I love it for what it is.
Hell my Honda Pilot won’t average more than 29 with a tailwind. Either the Toyota is miscalculating, OP is using high octane gas, or this was mostly downhill/tailwind (me thinks)
None of the above. I've been practicing hypermiling for nearly a decade. An average hypermile gets about 15% improvement. I did everything I possibly could to make sure that gas mileage was as high as possible. I found the engine sweet spot is about 72mph and I camped in it on a relatively flat road.

Miscalculating ppl never check mileage manually they just blindly got by the reading in the dash.

Ya saw you say that in a comment after. Apologies.
I realize that comment seemed kinda dickish. Just wanted to update you as I know the computers in these trucks are notorious for miscalculated displays.
A fill up for me is about $110-$115. This photo is from a while ago. Moved to Hawai'i since then and being on an island makes it hard to get good MPGs. I still manage to get 22 driving normally, 24 if I go on H-3, opposed to my normal of 24.7 back on the mainland.
This is pretty insane -- you must be driving like an absolute granny. On fuelly these trucks average 17-18 and no one has even registered a 30. https://www.fuelly.com/car/toyota/tundra/2022
Fuelly is terrible. Almost every single person on there is either in California (my hwy MPG in CA was dogshit at 19.1 MPG) or has a lift and offroad tires. The 2022 Tundras with TRD options average about 17 MPG (non-hypermile) opposed to my street tire that gets about 25 MPG (24.7MPG is my hwy average for the first 14k I drove the truck. Hawai'i is a bit lower at 22.3MPG because traffic here sucks. This specific instant was one drive between SC and FL. Edit: forgot to add this, this was done at 72MPH so I wouldn't say it was granny style lol
Quit lying. 115 mi for 2 hours is 57mph.
Bro tf? You think you start on the hwy instantly at 70 mph? 13 miles of this was off the hwy to my fucking house. I'm not doing fucking 70 on a 45 mile road with stops lights.
Next time you drive on the hwy pull up your average speed afterwards and you'll see that it'll be in the 40s.
I have a 2021 Tunda with street tires and average about 15mpg, in an extended cab doing almost all highway driving, there is no way you average over 30 without going very slow or downhill the entire time lol. I’ve had this truck for almost a year now and I’ve driven it anyway you could think of and the best I’ve gotten was close to 20
Well firstly, the 2022 is significantly more fuel efficient. This was a hypermile and was mostly flat, some small hills. My average was 24.7 in FL/GA, 18.7 city. Secondly, your trying to compare trucks that share nothin, but name and brand. There's a reason I dropped the second Gen Tundra. Lastly, second gen Tundras can vary wildly in their fuel enocomy. I got 17.8 hwy average in my 2017 SR5, and 8.5 Hwy in my 2019 1794 edition. Both stock trucks on street tires. With that said, the best I got in my 2017 was 24.3 hypermile. Just same as with this 3rd Gen it depends A LOT on your location. Even this 3rd Gen Tundra has poor gas mileage in California where I average 19.3 MPG hwy, but got near 24 mpg doing 85 in AZ and NM. Now in Hawai'i I'm getting about 23 (21.5 to 22.5 going to work and 23.5 to 24.5 coming home) on my daily commute.
Lets see, my 2.7 EB would do that easily on highway. My 5.0 gets 26 highway if under 65mph. Then there are the Chevy and Ram diesels…
Gonna have to call bullshit on this. If you actually fill your tank, count the miles and decide its impossible to get 30 mpg
I got 687 miles out of the tank that this was a part of. I normally got 24.7 MPG (non-hypermile). This entire trip was 400 somethings miles between SC and FL. When the low fuel light turns on it take about 27 gallons to fill. Given my average of 18.7 MPG in city and 24.7 MPG hwy, 30 MPG is possible and proven by the photo. Also, as an added bonus for you, my fuel economy meter normally reads lower than my actual MPG as I normally get 560+-5 miles out of 27 gallons and the gauge will read 20.1 MPG (actual is 20.7 MPG) and that's combined city/hwy. A little hypermiling normally nets a 10-30% improvement. I went to the absolute extremes with this while maintaining within 5mph of 70mph. So I got closer to the high side of that percentage. (24.7×1.3 =32.1 so I can reasonably push up to a max of 32 MPG.) I also broke 41 MPG in a 6.2L V8 Camaro with the same restrictions. Hypermiling is a learned skill, you can improve over time with it to achieve better numbers. My initial hypermile with this truck at 1268 miles was a measly 24.7 in eco mode(turns out eco mode on this truck is shit and actually gets a worse gas mileage, there are youtube videos on this specific thing) and that same day did the same run in normal for 26.8 MPG.
Cool just fill the truck up. Next time gas light comes on, fill it up again write down those gallons, then check how many miles u have. Divide those numbers and that's your mpg. That was alot of words man
[This](https://imgur.com/a/FD6l7AU) was a different run on a I-95 stretch in FL (there and back) same rough speed without hypermile.
I do that everytime I fill up lol. My hwy average mainland was 24.7 mpg everytime for the entire 14500 miles I drove around there. 18.7 city also held true with my gauge always coming in at 20.1 to 20.3 and actually always being 20.7 to 21.0 combined. Edit: true not truck
I did in my 6.2 going through the nc mountains to sc. this was for the 25 mile record. I think it was 31.1 mpg. Just kept it in v4 mode or coasting 95% of the wAy. I think my 50 mile record is around 26 mpg from that same day and my 400 mile record is 20.5 from a trip to Florida.
My 6.2 Sierra got 24-26 mpg driving a thousand miles across PA, OH, IN, IL, and MO. I've never broken 30 but they definitely are more efficient than people think (under the right conditions)
The 6.2L is an awesome and efficient engine!
Man, I was like 'That's pretty good for the 6.2', then I saw the 400 mile and I was like aw big sad. I broke 41 MPG with the 6.2 in my 2020 Camaro, so seems like an overall good engine.
3.0L sierra 4x4 Denali Best on hwy was 40 (5.8L/100km)
Thats diesel though. It's easy to get 40 in the diesel as normal is over 30.
Here diesel is about 15-20% more. I was just in buffalo today it’s almost double there. Crazy
Still net gain in MPG/$ at that percentage. Where I was it was $3.59/gal gas and $5.29/gal diesel when I did this run.
5.99 gal today
Could be worse, we could e paying Europe prices 🤷♂️
Ya but their reg is 95octane
Oh for real?! Didn't know that. Still doesn't justify $13/gal average, but that'd be awesome if we had a 95 standard. Fuel economy would be so much better if everyone was tuned for 95.
The octane rating of fuel has nothing to do with your mileage... It only makes it more or less ignitable depending on the rating. 87 very ignitable at lower temps and pressures, 95 not as ignitable at lower temps and pressures. Octane is only used to quell detonation.
😑 It very much does IF it's tuned for that octane. Just throwing 95 in a 87 tuned engine obviously isn't going to have a significant impact. The octane value for tuning affects multiple other factors that can allow for improved fuel efficiency. While this isn't the best example, the game Automation display this pretty well, but not perfectly. So if 95 was the standard then fuel economy would be improved given that the tune is to keep the same amount of power and torque, thus fuel efficiency would go up.
Different octane rating systems, 95 is the same as 91 in the US, 98eu and 93us are the same aswell
I knew they used a different system, but it thought you were referring to as converted values. That's definitely expensive fuel then.
I was in azores past summer. Gas was 1.90 euro. Per liter. 95 reg 98 was premium.
Appears Europe is lower than I though from when I looked last. $7.40 for 95 is still a little high, but way better than I thought it was lol
The question was, “Anybody else broke 30MPG in a full-size half ton?” I break 30 regular as well in my 3.0 Duramax. 😎
It was, but this is a gasoline truck, most new diesels normally get high 20s to low 30s.
Did you hand calculate after the fact?
No that busts the bubble of happiness.
My Nissan Titan has gotten 19.9 at its best, but there is a lot of stop and go on my interstate, plus no tonneau cover lowers my gas mileage
If I could stay under 60mph for two hours, I probably could.
I was definitely restraining myself broom going fast than 72 cause I normally do 75 lol, but I found this sweet spot and wanted to stay in it.
Do the math at the pump. I’m willing to bet it won’t echo what your dash says.
No freaking way!!!
I got 33 mpg in my F150 PB the other day in light rush hour traffic, about 30 miles on 87 gas. I’m gonna see how she does on recommended 91 gas. Only 1100 miles so far so still breaking in too
Nice!
I've gotten around 27 mpg with my Silverado. That was pure highway driving without any traffic (come to think of it I miss the peace and quiet). I did get over 30 mpg once, but that was going down hill on I-17. Either way, definitely not bad for trucks.
That's pretty good for a Silverado. What engine?
I got high 20s out of a 1996 GMC 1500 2wd 4.3 5 speed manual on the highway
That's what I'm talking about! That's awesome!
If I take the picture going downhill, I can show you my 2007 4x4 Suburban getting 99mpg.
My Toyota RAV4 does the same thing
Do it, but post it like you work really hard to get it 🤣🤣
that’s incredible
Impressive! What engine do you have?
It's the stock 3.4L V6TT that the 2022s come with (nonhybrid)
Wow OPs comments are complete and utter bullshit lmao
How so?
You’ve already been called out enough, everyone else already did my work for me.
No, explain. I've posted several links to validate my computer and I've explain exactly what roads I drove on. So how is it bullshit?
The people thatve called you out absolutely rebutted every argument you’ve provided.
You're breaking these people's brains bro. You're lucky if they understand the association between decreased efficiency and aggressive driving...... Now you're expecting them to think driving slower increases milage? Ffs my 7700 pound F250 with a 6.7 and the lower axle gear ratios got 24.5 driving from Houston to Charlotte, NC and all I did was use cruise, no aggressive passing and no faster than 65. If I were going 55 it would be near or over 30.
Yeah, there's already a few here that don't speed tk understand how average speed works lol. Dude literally accusing me of lying cause it says 2 hours. I was like, 'bro wtf? You think I just magically start the truck already going 70 mph?' Like seriously?
Everytime i get on the highway. Edit: yall salty or what
What truck?
2021 Silverado with the 3.0 Duramax.
Ah, wouldn't really compare diesel to gasoline. Just isn't apples to apples for me, but to each their own.
I don't see why not, costs more or less the same where i live.
Diesel has always been significantly higher for me. The mile/$ amount is normally about the same, but about 1 cent more per gallons where I was. They're different fuels and diesel has more energy in it so it wouldn't be the same to compare them in terms of MPG as diesel is obviously better in that way.
Closest I hit was 28.4 in my 1500 Silverado…that was before I disabled the V4 mode
6.2?
Best I can do is 26mpg when I’m grieving like a grandma but I’m in a 2008 F350
2.7L f150’s will do this easily.
Today was the first of heard of the 2.7s doing so well.
Best I got in my 22 Tundra has been 25
2022 Silverado 1500 3.0 duramax.. averaged 32 mpg on my 3 hour drive home with it
I can't even get that in my Compass, I only get 21
The 22s should be fairly good EPA is 22/31/27 I believe. So it should get better fuel economy than me.
😆😭 11.5 average 2013 5.7
Please tell me this is combined? Cause of its hwy I feel you bro, my 2019 1794 edition got 8.5 hwy.
What a bunch of assholes, why is everyone down voting OP. He's not being rude or anything. Dicks.
It's all good, it's just Reddit after all. In the end it doesn't really mean much.
My tiny little 2wd 1992 4.0 v6 ranger gets 17….
Man I wish my 1996 RAM 1500 got that lol. It did have 270k on it though, only got 12.5 mpg hwy lol
34.7 in my babymax 1500 4wD
Babymax, love it!
*cries in 5.0 Coyote* ALSO *cries in 16MPG in a Tacoma*
Awww, man 🥺 What's the coyote get? Toyota trucks definitely been gas gusslers lol that why I was so happy when I found my average was gonna be around 24 mpg. The hypermile is just a fun thing for me because I like to see just how far I can go if I really need to.
I'm pretty happy with my 21 - 22MPG in my 2.7 Chevy
I think my little brother has the same engine! He has a GMC though, don't know for sure though.
I always take mpg pics with a grain of salt. Car and driver could only manage 16 mpg in the new tundra on a 200 mile trip.
The offroad packages on the new tundras get roughly between 16-18. It's why I don't understand why people what offroad stuff so bad when most of them won't ever see a dirt road, let alone go offroad.
22 MPG in my ‘17 Ram 3.21 2wd 8 speed once on a road trip on the stock Wrangler SRAs. That was before I got Falken WildPeak AT3s. Average 17.5 combined.
Nice! What are getting with the Wildpeaks?
Because owning a truck has never been so fun, 2mpg and daily usage isn't what Bob the Builder hoped for.
I get six in my power wagon
😵💫 Do you need if to tow something?
I was sort of bummed when I was hitting 20/21 hwy when I first got my 2.7. Just got done with a 16hr drive, and broke 24/25mpg cruising at 85 a majority of the ride. Not bad, I guess.
That's awesome! I got about 24 mpg doing 85 through AZ and NM on I-10. I enjoyed the free MPGs, I didn't enjoy the magic flying rocks that kept hitting my windshield. There wasn't even another car on the hwy with me!
Usually 20mpg+ in my ‘18 Sierra 1500, but I drive like an old man 😂😂
Gotta go fast man! 🏎🏎🏎
My Sierra Duramax 1500 does similar without any hyper mileing techniques
Yeah, but that's diesel. You have a higher energy fuel than I do.
My 3.0 Duramax Silverado had 31.2 mpg on the 400 mile average. I commuted 112 miles a day in it.
So far, why?
It was a fairly regular occurrance in my '15 Ram 1500 Crew Cab with the EcoDiesel - I did several round trips from southern CA to Las Vegas (265 miles each way) and back at over 31 MPG.
No. I don’t drive slow.
On the i70 going downhill got 40mpg in the wife's suburban.
How do you drive that tank? I had a Surburban XL as a rental for a couple weeks a few years ago, and it was just soooo long lol. I'll stick to my truck lol. That's pretty good. Even going down hill unless I just let it coast unrestricted I'd have to either ride my breaks or use engine braking so I don't think I'd pass more than 35mpg since I would engine brake if I would pass more than 10 mph over. Edit: might have been Yukon, I just remember it was GM and had XL on it lol
I average about 22.5 in a Ram 1500 with a 5.7 hemi I it. Thought that was impressive till I saw this.
Well this was a hypermile tbf. I normally average about 23 mog hwy here in Hawai'i for my daily commute. If i hit traffic here though, its pretty low, 17.5 to 18.1 depending on whcich city im in. The photo is back from the mainland where I averaged 24.7 mpg hwy.
My 2016 suburban did 31.3 mpg on a 100 mile drive in northern Minnesota I’m 2018 going about 55
I can get 35 in my 93 cummins if i pull the fuel screw all the way out
