It must be the elevation/altitude difference or something, we are pretty close to sea level here. I find it hard to believe that a Tundra can get better than the EPA rating. Mine won't come close to that and I generaly take it easy, about 65 MPH on the highway and use the cruise and keep the RPMs at 2000 or less in the city. All I can say is anyone with a Tundra that can get an honest 23 US MPG highway, HANG ON TO IT, that's like winning the lottery.  |
Thank you for your post--I agree with you wholeheartedly!! All these great mileage claims make many of us who own Tundras, who keep them fully service, and drive very reasonably feel like they got f***** with a capital F! Like the post I quoted said (and I've said on mpg threads before)--HANG ON TO IT or SELL IT FOR MORE THAN YOU PAID FOR IT as any full size truck getting over 18 mpg is worth a premium!
