About LinkBacksAfter a recent trip to Mexico from Phoenix for bass fishing, and spending close to $400 for fuel, I began a thread asking what everyone gets for gas mileage while under tow. Well, I leave at 2AM tonight for another trip to Mexico for bass fishing, and you know what the last thing on my mind is..... All I can think about is flipping lizards in the brush up the river at Obregon, Sonora, Mexico.

Re: Who cares about gas mileage It makes me feel good when I get out of my Ford F250 work truck which gets 7.5 mpg and get in my Tundra. Luckily I do not have to pay to fill up the ford.

I am not concerned too much about mpg. But then again, I gas up only once a month.

Being in college, gas mileage is sort of important to me. But I couldn't trade my truck for anything.

Yep - I was just thinking today for some reason that although I say I love my Tundra, it is the 5.7 monster engine that I really love. Don't get me wrong, it is a very nice truck overall, but that engine - what a rush!
Screw the mileage - push that pedal down and enjoy!

Re: Who cares about gas mileage Wanna waste even more gas? Pimp out your exhaust. Guaranteed tank drainer for at least the first few months.
Pretty sure my mileage dropped in half when I first put on my MBRP duals.StephenC likes this.2012 Crewmax TRD 5.7, 4x4, 15% tint all around plus sunstrip. Ionic Gladiator running boards.

Re: Who cares about gas mileage I care about mileage. I don't expect Prius numbers but my '07 4.7L gets 13.6 mpg at best. Most of the posts here claim that the 5.7L gets better mileage than that. I hope that there are some better options for better mpg with the 2014's.

Re: Who cares about gas mileage Geez... ya'll act like this is some sort of huge monster engine..... It's a 350ci...<---same thing Chevy has been rocking since God create dirt...
Unfortunately... GM could not get the HP/TQ and fuel efficiency from a 5.7 like Toyota can....
Another thing that you have to look at, is that GM has since gone with a smaller displacement engine.... less everything....to add... they are shutting down cylinders to achieve this miraculous EPA figured MPG...---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------08 Limited DC 4x4 Black/CharcoalTRD SuperCharger, TRD Cat Back, TRD 22" Forged 5 SpokeOdessey Battery, Pioneer Avic Z120BT, PAC SWI-PS, PAC TATO, RockFord Fosgate P1000 w/remote powering a JL SteathBoxFactory matched tint, Paint matched grill surround, Sequoia mirror caps, Sequoia door handles, Debadged, Appearance rear bumper w/ sonar, Removed step barsFull interior LED's including vanity, puddle, reverse, cargo, and license plate LED's, DirectJG 35w 4500k HID's Low Beams, 35w 6000k Fogs, 55w 6000k High Beams, Side marker bulb delete, 2010 TailLights, EBAY bought LED/Smoked 3rd brake Light, Chrome painted amber DRL's and blinker bulbsMore to come......

That is why I bought a tundra, I had a 2007 dodge ram hemi with the MDS system and hated it. Full size Trucks should not have great MPG's. Originally Posted by DawgBonez
