My New Truck!!!

[biggun]

I just purchased this truck this week. 07 tundra w/ the 5.7 eng. I'm only getting 14 av. MPG so for.

Can anyone tell if if getting a superchip for this truck would be worth the cost. Was hoping to get a little better gas mileage.

It has 295 /70R 18 tires.

Please advise as I haven't had a truck that was lifted and so forth before.

The owner indicated that he was getting about close to 17-18 MPG.

I guess he was telling me the truth.

Thanks

Gunter ...I have same year tundra cc two wheel drive w/ 5.7 and get 17 t0 19 on hwy and 15 to 16 in town. If yours is 4 wd ,that is normal. A chip should help w/ addition of cold air induction.

I've got an 08 and that's about as good as I get also.

17-18 maybe parked, believe he might have told a fib.

If you want fuel economy buy a car. The more power a truck has the worse it is on fuel.(ford ecoboost is the exception)

He was talking about "MTG", not MPG. Apparently, there is a difference.

I have the same truck and that is about right with those tires and a lift. I lost 1.5mpg with my 3" lift, and you lose about that with those tires.

Are you using the display in your dash to figure mpg or are you doing gallons/miles? Hypertech makes a speedo recalibtator.

With stock tires, conservative driving, and Ethanol free gas I can get 19mpg. Normally 17mpg.

A "chip" won't really do much for mpg on the Tundras. Your best bet would be stock tires, which are much lighter.

If you want to sell those 295s or trade for my stock BFGs let me know..
