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

[cuhhhris]

How's everyone's MPG stats looking lately?

Been driving a lot of city lately so i've been TRYING to drive a lot less aggressive with the heavy foot I have. Coming from a 5th gen, it's been getting hard to not push it a little bit with the low end torque we get now with the 6th gen.

I'm averaging around 19-19.5 city right now. Been driving in ECO, and usually always have the AC on.

It seems like based on this thread and numerous videos on youtube that 19-20 is basically the standard.

I read that 24MPG is achievable on a highway run. I assume that it will normalize after break-in and an oil change. Of course, the right foot behavior has a huge impact too

Completely off topic - I'd love to see a V6 Hybrid Max engine in the 4Runner like the Sequoia. Unnecessary but cool. I am a fan of larger engines although I have used a 4 cylinder 2.0 twin turbo ford for almost 11 years without an issue.

I’m not getting as good as the rest of everyone else but I think it’s because of my heavy foot that I developed with my 3rd Gen Tacoma.

I’m used to having to put my foot into the pedal to keep up with the flow of traffic on the Interstate and I’ve noticed I look down in the 4Runner and I’m going 85+ without realizing it lol

I’m at about 300 miles and get between 17-18 but most of my driving has been on the highway. Im sure it will level out once I stop pushing the pedal down as much as I’m used to.

Almost a month of driving, picked up on 2/13, still breaking in..

Still getting about 21-22 mpg combined here. Impressive for how large and heavy this vehicle is especially given how I live in a hilly area. To shame my old 2020 Subaru Outback I used to have, I’m averaging better mpg so far with the 4R.

At 18.8 with 1900 miles on it. Was getting 20.8. The last 600 miles on this road trip 90% highway it’s dropped. Likely culprit is the 275/70R18 E rated wild peak AT4s which are heavier than stock. The other factor could be driving so much with cruise control and lane assist. Not sure how that effects it.

Cruise control maximizes fuel efficiency so that was helping. The new tires definitely decreased MPG due to increased friction with the road at highway speeds.

Agreed. Only reason I mentioned it was due to the fact it often being set higher than what I was actually going because someone was in front of me going slower so it seemed like it was always waiting to accelerate.

I'm at 900 miles and 17.3 avg... Mostly city. Most highway trips I take end up being 20 mpg or higher, so not sure how the overall avg is so low. Still breaking it in, but was hoping for 20. I find myself spooling the turbo up a lot by accident. It's just way more fun to drive than my lifted 5th gen. Just filled it up with 93 octane yesterday which supposedly gives it a power and efficiency bump. We shall see...

Steady at 18.6 now with a good mix of highway and city.

Drove to KY to from our home in Lake Placid, FL, took delivery OR-TRD-Premium PT-4WD, non-hybrid, then headed to Cincinnati. 2 miles on the ODO, and did not waste any time.
70-74 sometime 82 mph. Looked down once,
23.1, 50 miles later, 22.9, did not pay any attn after that. My TRD Tacoma, V-6, if you kept the RPM's less then 2K, delivers 23 + mpg.
Tacoma Attached.

I’m getting about the same as you. I drive 50 miles a day about 70% Highway. I noticed if I keep it around 70 and baby it i get close to 20. People in Florida are in such a rush so if I do less then 80 people trying to run me over and anything over 80 I’m getting around 17mpg

I am still in the break in period around 1100 miles so I’m hoping it improves.

Dropping another quick update for everyone. Consistently getting an average of around 21-22 mpg with mixed driving between socal traffic ridden highways and the hilly Laguna area.

Drove down to San Diego today at a brisk pace between 75-85 mph and got nearly the 25 mpg value. Extremely impressed with the efficiency of this new powertrain.

219 miles
87 octane. At 5,300 ft elevation.
26.9 mpg over 219 miles of having it so far. Stock SR5. I’m trying. And always get better fuel economy at altitude.
