Default 19.6 MPG on Highway

Made the trip from Connecticut to VA. Mostly I-95 and achieved 19.6 mpg. The weather was a bit foul so speed avg was a bit lower that normal for me, but there was moderate traffic so acceleration and deceleration was common.

Extremely happy to see this. Around town my guess is going to be around 16mpg. But we'll see I have yet to use a tank around town.

I have 980 miles on mine now and I am averaging 17.1 MPG with an average speed of 29 MPH with mixed city and hwy driving. That is much better than I expected.

Default Mileage

There have been many incidences with the new 4Runner that the trip computer is off.. so for a more accurate MPG rating go by your mileage and gallons put in at fill up. I'd do this all the time in my S2000 just to see how the car was running.
