This is not correct. No one’s Tacoma is getting 30 mpg. No one. Learn how to use a calculator pen and paper to get your real mpg.

Wow the anger this thread is generating. Look closely genius. It’s one trip, a there & back. Numbers are correct. The out trip was 25. Still excellent and the f you’re gonna get prevent me from being stoked.

I actually believe he gets that mpg. I can get 50 mpg with my civic. It has a turbo. If I drive 45 mph in a 55mph zone, I can get that mpg. It's possible, but not practical hyper-miling to that level. No fun either, unless you get off bragging about your mpg under very specific circumstances.... Do your trip to Moab, if you want to drive that same style, I think you'll get very good mpg. No offense, the doubters aren't attacking you. I think DennisD was fair in asking for same sets of circumstances with and without the airdam. Just a tip: try replying like a grown-up.

I completely agree. The irony is that to achieve this kind of mileage, you’d need to slow down—and at lower speeds the air dam’s effect is pretty much negated anyway.

I only care about a 400mi tank on a stock/similar curb weight TH and @ near speed limit & traffic flow. All these numbers & trip screen shots I’m tossing up are within traffic flow in my city & front range / only 300mi in the bag on this air dam.

I don’t really care about splitting hairs or wind tunnels or cloning conditions. I modded a cheap part, it’s supplemental to other shit you can do to achieve good fuel economy. Nobody here is an authority on Toyota aerodynamics & engineering.
