Tacoma Fuel Economy (1 Viewer)

[Tigerstripe40]

I got 22-23 mpg in my Tacoma when I first got it. Then the fuel was changed to the 10% ethanol blend and I've been at 16-17mpg ever since. If I can find the ethanol free fuel, I run that and get about 19-20mpgs. My Bullbar, solarpanels, roof rack and awning probably aren't helping my mpgs that much.

That said, if you really are concerned about MPGs, get a Honda Civic, drive that as your daily and save the Tacoma for the weekend.

My 79 Series Ute will get the weekend duty while the Tacoma will be the daily driver. Thanks for the info.
