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

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

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

Nissan Maxima Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2010	4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD	16-17 in the city. 25-26 on the freeway. Not bad than other comparable cars. see full Nissan Maxima review
2009	4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD	It is between 25-29.2 on the highway depending on headwinds. It seems sensitive to wind, mileage-wise. In town is excellent. In 4k miles the worst tank has been 23.2 when it was brand new and very cold out. City mileage is understated in my opinion. see full Nissan Maxima review
2003	4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual FWD	I get between 26-27mpg. see full Nissan Maxima review

2002	4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual FWD	For a large car with a relatively large engine, this engine is mirror smooth which helps it get great highway mileage. see full Nissan Maxima review
2002	4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual FWD	I consistently get 25 in the city, and 33-34 all highway. Excellent fuel economy for any car, let alone one with a 3.5L V6. see full Nissan Maxima review

Nissan Maxima Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD	Not as good as advertised see full Nissan Maxima review
2010	4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD	Depends on a lot on your right foot. Driven like a Prius, 26 MPG city and 33 MPG highway. Driven normally with occasionally throttle bursts, 27 MPG highway, 21 MPG combined. The CVT ratio spread maxes out at 2200 RPM at 75; a little high for MPG. see full Nissan Maxima review
2009	4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD	City driving is brutal on mpg. If you get 12 mpg you are doing well. Highway miles are great - over 30, so great on trips, stinks for commuting. see full Nissan Maxima review
2008	4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD	Not as good in town as expected. Get around 20-22 mpg in town, 25-28 on hi-way see full Nissan Maxima review
2006	4dr Sedan 265-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	24MPG on the HWY. Come on...Crown Victoria is almost 30 has a V8 and gets 29 MPG on the HWY. see full Nissan Maxima review
2002	4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual FWD	This car loves to suck gas especially when pushed. And not just any gas, the high compression VQ35DE engine requires premium. In my experiences anything less than 91 octane will yield poor performance and odd engine noises. I average 17-18 mpg at best. see full Nissan Maxima review
