I Force Max MPG

[east side]

Those of you who have I Force Max: what kind of mpg are you getting? I have the TRD Off-Road model w/less than 1000 miles, and I have not got mpg close to what is stated(22/24), but I assume it will take a few thousand miles to fully break in. Most of my driving has been city driving so far, in eco mode.

Only a few 100 miles on my Limited I-Force Max, but I'm seeing anywhere between 22-25 MPG with a mix of city and highway.

I averaged 20.3mpg from Reno to SF... mainly all freeway.

I have been getting between 19 and 20 city and 22-23 highway. I did remove the air dam and I believe that drops mpg by 1-2.

20mpg around town, 22-23 highway with air dam on still.

You removed the air dam and still get the same as I get with it on is interesting. I do have a tonneau cover so maybe that affects mpg some for me.

I have about 5K miles on the truck now, and the best I have gotten is about 25mpg highway. About 20mpg city is the best, but that is driving very conservatively trying to save gas. I have found that driving freeway, it really depends on the obvious, the terrain, how fast, passing a lot, etc; for me, if I keep it no more than 70mph, and try and keep the rpm's at 2K or less, in eco mode, that seems to be the most efficient. Of course, all that goes out the window, if I am off-road, and I expect that. But I did not buy the truck for strictly off-road use, It is my everyday vehicle, and I love it, by the way!

Was getting 22-24 highway and 18-19 city in my none hybrid model. Since all my mods I'm now getting 20-22 highway and 17 city. This topic is always hard to compare because how you drive and the speeds you drive make a huge impact on mpg. Air resistance is exponential so it's twice as hard to go 80 mph than it is to go 65. I did an experiment in mine and set the cruise control to 65 on a road trip and averaged 25.6 mpg.

You have to also consider there's no free lunch with a hybrid. The engine is still charging the battery and while this is more efficient than it just powering the drive train the biggest difference you'll notice is in city where you can recoup the energy lost from constantly starting and stopping and the hybrid system can assist in acceleration which is the least efficient part of driving. On flat high speed highway there's going to be much less of a difference because there's little the hybrid system can do resulting in a 1 maybe 2 mpg increase over a non hybrid.

I have a Limited hybrid and seem to be hanging around 23+ on most conditions. Stock truck and stock Michelin tires and no chin spoiler. Longest trip interstate got me over 24 just a bit. In the SE and only burn Top Tier fuel 87, I'm happy with that. Currently just over 1,000 miles on the truck.

I’m at 5300 miles on my hybrid limited and I’m still averaging 23-24 MPG. And I left the “snowplow” on.

Curious, are you self-calculating the MPG or basing it off what the truck tells you? If the latter, it’ll take several fill ups before it begins to report it accurately.
