Fuel-Saving Tips
Drive smoothly: gentle throttle and braking improve MPG noticeably.
Mind weight: extra passengers/cargo reduce efficiency; remove unnecessary load.
Aerodynamics: maintain steady speeds; at higher speeds keep windows up to reduce drag.
Use climate control wisely: rely on the available dual-zone A/C instead of open windows at freeway speeds.
Maintenance: proper tire pressure, clean air filter, and timely oil changes maintain efficiency.
What Affects Fuel Economy?
Payload & Passenger Load: Tacoma payload can reach up to ~1,685 lbs when properly equipped; more mass requires more fuel.
Speed & Wind Resistance: Higher speeds increase drag exponentially; cruise steadily to conserve fuel.
Driving Environment: Hills, stop-and-go traffic, and off-road use will lower MPG versus highway cruising.
