Gas mileage?

Elevation would not have much bearing on mpg but ethanol will. Also the summer fuel will get better mpg than the winter blend.

Lauderdale and fill up. I get arround 14-16 Mixed. In have done this trip 3 time and my mileage is consistent. I chart my mileage with each fill up so my overall average since i took delivery is holding at 17.1mpg. It seems i do worst at the lower elevation.

I have seen this in my 07 Tundra also; I think it's the Ethanol. North Florida pumps do not mention that the gas contains "10 % Ethanol", as does many central and south florida gas stations. Last trip to St. Pete- I noticed a significant difference in gas mileage w/ the central florida fill ups.
In N. Florida My 07 Tundra 5.7- gets 18.5-19 mpg when I commute to Panama City, Fl. @ speeds between 60-70 mph (with some stop signs and 6-7 red lights). Interstate speeds of 75-80 mph it drops to 15-16 mpg. I once towed about 8,000 lbs. of JD tractor and implements on the interstate @ speeds of 68 mph I only got 10 mpg. This is w/ the tow pkg. that has 4.30 gearing.

Anyway, looking to trade our 05 Sequoia for a new model.
I guess we will see what the 05' brings in trade value???

I just walked form a deal cuz the trade value is just terrible with any V8. I am keeping what I got till it blows up.

I know a guy who went to trade his 07 Seq w/11,000 miles and they offered him $17,000 for it.
