I've been reading your results with your new Toyota, and I begin thinking about comparisons with our new one, a 2013 Tundra 4x4 double Cab pick up. We filled our first tank last Friday and got 18.3, just figuring miles and gallons added. Our truck figures out to be almost 2 1/2 times heavier than your car, with a frontal area about 1 1/2 times as large, obviously ours is not a Hybrid, with a 5.7 liter V-5 @ 381 HP. Ours has DOHC, dual Variable Valve Timing, and is E-85 Flex Fuel rated, with a 6 speed auto transmission, and a 4.3 to 1 rear axle ratio. I drive normal, coasting to Stop signs and Red lights, but do not P&G, or drive less than the speed limit, which here is 75 mph on the highway. It will be interesting to follow our progress!
