I'm right there with you Brother.
I'm 43, although I do put my foot into it sometimes, but not always, the best I can get in town is maybe 14.5.
The worst was 12.5, lots of running around in a hurry that week. I think it was also the first week with the Magnaflow, I had to hear it kick in.
The best I ever got was 18 on a trip to St Louis, from Dallas, with a big tail wind. I was averaging about 77 mph on that tank.
I'm lucky to get 290 to 310 miles on a tank. To the E, not to the low fuel light.
I did get about another MPG after my Magnaflow broke in, even in town.
The only way I'll see 20 MPG is if I shut off the engine at all red lights and coast down hills.
But I wouldn't trade this Tundra for any Ford, Chevy, or Dodge. Could you imagine HEMI mileage? yuk
Even when gas was $3.15 a gallon, I was proud and elated to drive this American made Toyota Tundra. Even paying $68 to fill her up.
Hell, the 97 4runner with a V6 I had, only got 16 or 17 on a good week. But I loved her as well.
Enough of me, I don't know how you guys are doing it, unless you really pussyfoot down the road.
I don't wanna drive that way.
