low MPG

[TacomaCR]

hi,
are any of you experiencing poor mpg?

l am around 14-15mpg… l haven’t done any mods that l would think increases my consumption… upgraded to MT 265 coming from the HW 245 that the truck comes with…
and also added running boards that weight maybe 15kg each side

i am really not pushing or driving hard and l can’t seem to increase it

Oversized aggressive tread will drop it. Combined with aggressive city driving, your mileage is plausible. I lost a mpg or 2 when I went from the stock SR5 wheels and tires to stock sport wheels and tires.

What was your mileage before the tire change? Is your SR5 4wd? My 2wd SR5 with stock tires gets 26-27 combined. I've been looking at getting aftermarket wheels and going with 265 tires.
