Default Re: 5.7 versus 4.7 fuel economy

I don't know about the 4.7, but the Toyota DC SR5 4x4 with the 5.7 I test drove on Friday showed 8.5 mpg on the average readout, but when I drove it the instant readout was pretty much in low to mid teens for mpg. I wouldn't doubt that neary everyone is keeping their foot in it during the test drives and it was pretty cold (-2 or so ) and that might have something to do with it. With my driving, I'd hopefully be in the mid to low teens - according to the dash. I can see where driving habits will greatly affect the 5.7.
