The second it gets cooler out, the milage goes to shit. I am a light-footed driver and you can see where I towed with the truck twice lol. The graph starts when I got the truck last October.

And for our southern friends, that's about 16.6 mpg on average. Best was 22.8 mpg.

For reference; all my testing is being done using my 26-30min drive to work at right about 9*F. It's a mostly highway drive with several low speed ramps so I call it mixed. The same drive at warmer temps nets roughly 24mpg.
Even just the temps going from 75-50 to 50-35 reduced my MPG some.

I've also noticed during a 30 minute freeway drive we frequently do the transmission is staying around 160F on the freeway instead of 180-200F. Seems to shift much more smoothly at lower speeds around 180-200F.

First tank - break in period = 22.3 mpg (Stock TRD Off Road, non-hybrid, automatic).
Second and third = 20.2 mpg.

If I get 20 I'm happy, the first tank was mostly all under 70 mph, second and third a mix. Little to no cruise control, mostly flat, 87 octane. I've always beat stated MPG but that was typically because I was driving a manual and coasting a lot in neutral.
