18.6. Mostly city driving

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.

Numbers for my 2024 TRD Off-Road Premium after 27k miles.
The gas milage and tank size is my only negative. For the entire life of the car, I am averaging 19.1mpg displayed and 19.26mpg calculated at heavy commute 32MPH average all time speed and 262 miles to the tank average with a reserve left of 36 miles. The deepest I have taken the reserve is -3 and my average fill-up is 13.61 gallons with average California price at the pump of 60.53 or 4.44 a gallon which is rising by the week.

Was averaging 20.1 when I was stock. After upgrading tire size I'm getting 18.5.

I notice the same thing about colder temps. Why does colder temps have such an effect on MPG? I know about ‘winter’ gas and all that. We had a week recently where the temps ranged from 15F to 85F and my mileage was affected with the same tank of gas.

I have my nannies set to the max as far as the breaking goes and I am thinking that causes unnecessary breaking as I constantly see the brake light tabs going on when there is plenty of room between me and the car in front of me. I also use the adaptive cruise control for 80% of my driving which I am sure also hits the MPG more than regular driving. Anyone else see similar results with heavy ACC and nannies set to high?
