Re: How to increase HP and gas mileage in Tundra
I haven't heard of, or tried, anything that increases mileage dramatically. Checking tire air pressure religiously and driving conservatively are the only two givens. Interestingly, I get my best fuel mileage when I'm loaded down. Probably more of a factor of all the freeway driving, but when I'm off to Utah or Colorado on my annual deer hunts, I have gotten up to 21 mpg. This is with all my hunting and camping gear which includes a very heavy canvas wall tent. I'm probably right up against the recommended GVWR. I'll go from SB, CA to Colorado, hunt for a week, then return and average 18 mpg. I do allow for a couple of days to get there and back, so I average 70 mph or under.
