What Our Members Are Saying about the Real Gas Mileage of the Toyota Tundra

Toyota Tundra Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2014	4dr Crew Cab 5.5ft bed 381-horsepower 5.7L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	One of my biggest complaints on the Tundra is the poor mpg. The big three's mpg all surpass the Tundra's. I guess this the downfall for reliability and durability. In CA, no one manufactures a larger fuel tank to replace the tiny factory one that passes the rediculous SMOG rules. What does a fuel tank have to do with SMOG? see full Toyota Tundra review
2008	4dr Extended Cab 6.5ft bed 381-horsepower 5.7L V8 6-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	its really unbeleviable that i get the mileage i get with the towing capability and power this thing has i am really speechless i traded in a 2005 Nissan Frontier 4X4 double cab that only got 14-16 mpg and 8mpg when pulling 20 ft bass boat. see full Toyota Tundra review
2006	4dr Extended Cab 6ft bed 236-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic RWD	17 in suburban operation 20 on trips when I maintain a constant 65. see full Toyota Tundra review
2005	4dr Extended Cab 6ft bed 282-horsepower 4.7L V8 5-speed automatic RWD	average 15.5 mpg overall with heavy foot and winter gas. see full Toyota Tundra review

2011	4dr Crew Cab 5.5ft bed 381-horsepower 5.7L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	In town mileags is very poor. see full Toyota Tundra review
2010	4dr Crew Cab 5.5ft bed 381-horsepower 5.7L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	Average around 14-15 mpg. Disappointing. We keep track of mileage every time we fill up. see full Toyota Tundra review
2008	4dr Crew Cab 5.5ft bed 381-horsepower 5.7L V8 6-speed automatic RWD	Toyota could do better. Ford does. Chevy does. see full Toyota Tundra review

2007	4dr Extended Cab 6.5ft bed 381-horsepower 5.7L V8 6-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	Was ok in the beginning. 18ish on the highway and 15 in mixed driving. Since adding ethonal to the gas here in VT down to about 11.5 in mixed driving. see full Toyota Tundra review
2005	2dr Regular Cab 8ft bed 282-horsepower 4.7L V8 5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	15/18 EPA at least partly due to the lack of V-6 or manual transmission option with 4x4. Comparable GM trucks are better in this area. see full Toyota Tundra review
2003	4dr Extended Cab 6ft bed 245-horsepower 4.7L V8 4-speed automatic RWD	All V-8 full size trucks get poor gas mileage. The Tundra gets 15 - 17 mpg see full Toyota Tundra review

Mazda RX-8 Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2009	4dr Coupe 232-horsepower 1.3L R2 6-speed manual RWD	One of the big downsides of the rotary is truly horrendous fuel economy. When the RX-8 first came out in the early 2000s, its mileage ratings of 16/22 city/highway mpg (stick shift) were just barely acceptable, but there days, with many crossovers hitting more than 30 mpg on the highway, those figures are truly atrocious, especially given respectable but certainly not neck-snapping power. Futhermore, it takes premium. If you're using the RX-8 as it commuter, fuel costs will add up quickly. In my predominantly around-town driving, I typically average between 16-17 mpg. My highest recorded average was 20 mpg on a highway trip at speeds around 75 mph. see full Mazda RX-8 review
2007	4dr Coupe 212-horsepower 1.3L R2 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	The EPA numbers are way low compared with my real-world experience. The window sticker showed 18/25 and I have never seen less than 23 with my 40/60 city/highway commute. I think Mazda should develop a lean-burn economy cruise mode for this car. see full Mazda RX-8 review
2006	4dr Coupe 238-horsepower 1.3L R2 6-speed manual RWD	Lite bit to high consumption when I drive it in normal speed. On full woot its ok. see full Mazda RX-8 review
2005	4dr Coupe 238-horsepower 1.3L R2 6-speed manual RWD	Worst fuel economy in its class. see full Mazda RX-8 review
2004	4dr Coupe 238-horsepower 1.3L R2 6-speed manual RWD	Not that bad for what it is, but it seems to me that Mazda's Sky Active technology could help the city mileage. It just needs more R&D. see full Mazda RX-8 review
2004	4dr Coupe 238-horsepower 1.3L R2 6-speed manual RWD	At 16 m.p.g. on premium grade these days it could be cheaper to take a taxi. see full Mazda RX-8 review
2004	4dr Coupe 238-horsepower 1.3L R2 6-speed manual RWD	For a small engine displacement and a relatively light vehicle weight, the gas mileage is weak. I usualy get around 19mpg, and that does not realy matter if I am doing all city or all highway driving. I think the real problem is in the sixth gear it isnt much different than fifth gear so it does not provide good fuel economy. see full Mazda RX-8 review
2004	4dr Coupe 238-horsepower 1.3L R2 6-speed manual RWD	For a car with a 1.9 liter engine I would have expected better than 16-19 MPG. Get your foot into it and the numbers fall drastically. Otherwise I loved that car. It just got too small with a newborn and a big dog. see full Mazda RX-8 review
2004	4dr Coupe 238-horsepower 1.3L R2 6-speed manual RWD	I gets 20MPG no matter what I do. Running around 20. 1/2 highway 20. All the highway all day 25-26. I think that it could do better. see full Mazda RX-8 review
