Forget those crazy high MPG numbers. How low can your gas mileage really go?

Just filled up at Costco and I’m chilling in the parking lot. If the mods don’t remove this, maybe someone will get a good laugh.

Everyone is always posting about their amazing gas mileage, so I figured I’d switch things up and see how bad it can get.

I’m 45, so I guess that makes me Gen X… barely.

For the younger folks here, that means I was born when Jimmy Carter was president.

@Jesse
Now you gotta explain who Jimmy Carter was.

Let’s just tell them he was a peanut farmer who made gas lines super long and see what they say. :smirk:

Watch me miss it… Either my wife will take the truck or I’ll space out and look down when it’s already past.

Man, I was watching mine, then I looked again and it was already past 42088. I was disappointed.

My truck said -12° this morning.

Oh wait… You were talking about MPG? My bad. :joy:

I got this truck from my dad when he passed a couple months ago. Coldest I’ve seen it so far is 8°.

I wish your mileage was exactly 69,420.

I don’t have my Tundra anymore, so I’m stuck with 18-22 MPG in my ‘23 Taco. My ‘08 Tundra had a serious drinking problem.

I once got my ‘17 Taco to 36 MPG on a long, flat highway doing 55 with cruise control. Pretty sure I had the wind at my back.

These trucks hate the cold.
