Are you using the odometer, or a GPS? If you're using the odometer, is your speedo correct for the size of tires? I know with stock tires it reads higher speed and higher MPG. With a little bigger tire (not sure what size) it should be right on. With 34s, it will read low speed and low odometer.
Do you have any ethanol free pumps by you? Would be interested to see what MPG you get running ethanol free. I started running it a little over a year ago an noticed 1-2 mpg more. Went back to regular E10 for a month and mileage dropped. Back to ethanol free and it's doing better. Around here, 88 octane ethanol free is the same price as 91 octane E10.
Where did you get the supercharger? Is it a TRD supercharger. I have a 2017 1794 Tundra with the flex fuel and would love to get a trd supercharger for it
TundraDude34 I really hope so because all these other manufacturers are fully redesigning their trucks and now Dodge is fully redesigning there's and if I'm not mistaken I believe the tundra is the last one that needs to be fully redesign but I'm planning to get a tundra but I'm just waiting for them to redesign it
Do you have any type of rust protection on your truck.? i got mine ziebarted and an electronic rust protection. and a ceramic coating on my paint and wheels?
Hey man, I’m a tundra owner also and I have a 2016 but I heard they might be redesigning the Tundra. I went to my nearest dealership and they told me that they are not going to redesign it until 2024, but that doesn’t seem right. Do you happen to know anything? Please get back to me, thank you
I can't remember, did you test the city mpg's? If so, what was the average? Also, I'm guessing the super charge didn't really hurt or help your mpg's, seems to be about the same.
I was guessing 17, 16.1 is really good makes me think 15.7 going up hill back road driving with wind is even better for the specific circumstances! I'm so interested in what kind of fuel econ I will get with my headers and my regear 4.88's, running a lift and some 35's I cant wait I get the truck back on Friday been without it for 2 weeks! Your last vid with the sway bar you talked about not being able to run it possibly with a larger lift then just the Pro suspension? I heard from them on Tuesday they said nothing about not being able to install the sway bar with my 6" lift and apparently everything was done except for the regear so I will assume the sway bar is on and works with the lift? We shall see?
hard to compare mileage when the tires are aired up higher and pumping different octane from one trip to the next. everything should be the same, even the weather, as much as possible. not only that, there were three commercials interrupting the first 5 minutes.
This was just to get an idea, nothing too scientific. I know stuff is supposed to be as close as possible. As far as commercials, i never set it up like that so relax. If your unhappy, dont watch dude. Its that simple. Try finding some positivity in your life and stop being so pessimistic, its not healthy. Have a good one.
I had those tires on my Chevy 2500, load range E and there was no issue with noise. Your MPG is very close to my stock SR5 so you are doing well with lots more POWER!
On a flat highway road from Austin to Dallas on i35 I average 21.5 mpg going 70-75 mph. That was hand calculated as the computer was telling me 20.1. These trucks are actually surprisingly efficient if you try and believe me you really have to try haha . Wish they would have stuck the 10spd and the 3.73 gears with the v8 I’d probably get 23mpg
With My heavy foot in my 6.0 i get about 10.5 miles per gallon, its stock, but now its got some issues, but still running, so 16.1 Mpg is not bad at all!!!
TundraDude34 Well for one, the power steering pump groans in tight maneuvers, so the power steering pump is starting to go out, then a neighbor mechanic friend of mine told me that the idler pulley i believe is going out because there is some loud squeek coming from under the hood, especially when its around 30-40-50 degrees out, plus i drove it around today and its not feeling like itself, bad Battery, ect, but i am getting a new car tomorrow, the Express isnt getting replaced though, Not to mention its a 3500 so parts are much more expensive, all 4 rotors and pads new are nearly 800 dollars alone, for just the parts, not counting labor!!!
TundraDude34 Its not a Toyota, YET, but its an 04 Grand Marquis Ultimate Edition 137k miles, Its a work in progress, I will get a Tundra Eventually, things take time!!
Finally my 17 goes in to have the rear bumper aligned correctly. This is after two visits and many phone calls. I’d be lying if I said wasn’t disappointed with the dealer and the Toyota complaint department. Let’s hope this will end this issue.
+Tom Moser haha i knew people would take that wrong. The joke originally was i bought the TRD Pro to get to the safe zone during the zombie apocalypse, because zombies love chrome (hence why i bought the non chrome pro lol)
I use an app called Mileage Keeper. I use it every time I fill up. In my two years of owning my truck, I've spent a little over $7,000 in gas and filled up close to 3,000 gallons. My overall MPG average is at 13.5. I've done a lot of crazy driving all over the place.
TundraDude34 It’s a very good way to keep track of your MPG after every fill-up. All you do is just input your odometer, gallons, and even how much you spent on gas. It does all the work for you.
I figured it was 17mpg. So let's add this up big 5.7 engine add supercharger, bigger tires, suspension, and a crew cab. And 16mpg. I'd say pretty dang great.
same what takes my 13 tundra.. i did see this video,even tho it was most interesting test... with gas prices for 93 octane here in canada..not very good idea getting sc. .... hmm maybe its time to buy a big piece of land up north and dig for oil... with my 40k+ a year pulling trailer and everything...tundra will become golden. ....unless i buy a second:-)
That is disappointing, I was hoping our computers were reading it right. But after all, it is really good MPG for having all that extra HP, and it's still way ahead of my old Chevy in HP and MPG.
Inspired by your adventure, I did a TFL mileage test myself. On a 2017 RAV4 Limited hybrid. Drove 84 miles today, directly out and back, recorded all the data. 3.166 gallons equaled a little less than 27 mpg. Car computer said 30.0 MPG. Hmmm.... With a little promotion, you might be able to start a nationwide “actual mileage at the pump versus car computer” frenzy. LOL. Do you know, or could you find out, if there is a legitimate technical reason for the overstatement of our vehicle computer MPG. Or, is it simply marketing people manipulating our emotions and perception of reality. Much look forward to your response. Keep up the good work TundraDude !!
Hey Tundra Dude, I just came across and ordered this Toyota bed light kit which Sparks carries. part number is 00016-34089. Just in case you're interested cheers
I laughed at the balancing thing. I used to do reviews on some aquarium stuff back in the day.. Google me sometime.. mojo protein skimmers. Ran a couple forum pages. I 'll take a new shirt and one for my daughter!
Has it been 6 mos already? Wow! Time does really go by faster as you get older!😂😂😂😂 We have a quite a few onramps like that here on Oahu, and I try to avoid them like the plague. Things like these engineering marvels are what makes drivers in Hawaii ranked the angriest drivers in the nation. Add stupid drivers, drivers who have no clue as to where they're going, and throw reckless drivers into the mix. That's how you get that ranking. As for the shirts, haha! That WOULD be funny, if I came out of my truck wearing that shirt with the amount of chrome the SR5's have! But unfortunately, I'm on #team chrome, just as long as it's not overkill. I like chrome, but I have to admit, the amount of chrome on the stock SR5's is a bit much for my liking. I will probably remove some if it in the future, but it's fine for now... mileage...I noted previously that my truck could get 20mpg, and I had pictures to prove that, but that was using the onboard mileage meter. The reality is, it is actually between 15~17mpg...and that's when I'm feather-footed😂 It drops to 09~16 when i feel lead-footed😂😁
From my Platinum without Supercharger you are definitely getting less with the Supercharger. However, you have the super fun factor we don't have, well worth a little loss in mpg. You clearly win regardless. Supercharged I'd be happy with 14 mpg. Enjoy it brother.👍👍
Hahaha @ 8:50… Meanwhile you are making vlog videos inside your vehicle!
Lol, no cell phone use though! Camera in the background 😁
Are you using the odometer, or a GPS? If you're using the odometer, is your speedo correct for the size of tires? I know with stock tires it reads higher speed and higher MPG. With a little bigger tire (not sure what size) it should be right on. With 34s, it will read low speed and low odometer.
Im a tad bigger at 275/70/18
Do you have any ethanol free pumps by you? Would be interested to see what MPG you get running ethanol free. I started running it a little over a year ago an noticed 1-2 mpg more. Went back to regular E10 for a month and mileage dropped. Back to ethanol free and it's doing better. Around here, 88 octane ethanol free is the same price as 91 octane E10.
+Louis Kamler unfortunately everything has ethanol here
Where did you get the supercharger? Is it a TRD supercharger. I have a 2017 1794 Tundra with the flex fuel and would love to get a trd supercharger for it
+david weaver unfortunately the trd Supercharger was discontinued in 2015, this is the Magnuson Supercharger. Pretty much the same style
Do you think in 2020 Toyota will fully redesign the tundra?
+Robert Rocha i think model year 2021 so yea, 2020
TundraDude34 I really hope so because all these other manufacturers are fully redesigning their trucks and now Dodge is fully redesigning there's and if I'm not mistaken I believe the tundra is the last one that needs to be fully redesign but I'm planning to get a tundra but I'm just waiting for them to redesign it
+Robert Rocha honestly, going up to the Platinum soothed my savage beast lol
Do you have any type of rust protection on your truck.? i got mine ziebarted and an electronic rust protection. and a ceramic coating on my paint and wheels?
How much?
Hey man, I’m a tundra owner also and I have a 2016 but I heard they might be redesigning the Tundra. I went to my nearest dealership and they told me that they are not going to redesign it until 2024, but that doesn’t seem right. Do you happen to know anything? Please get back to me, thank you
+Saul Lopez look for it around model year 2021 (2020) 👍🏼
TundraDude34 alright man thank you. Nice truck by the way!
+Saul Lopez thanks dude!
Im getting 14.5mpg on my fairly stock 2006 4.7 tundra on the highway. It only makes 282 hp/:
What was your MPG before the supercharger? I have a 2018 4Runner and am considering the Magnuson SC for it.
Have you already had this ting for six months? Thats so crazy, it seems like it just got delivered last week or something
+533hornet dude I totally said that earlier today! It’s probably the 7 day vlogging that makes it feel like yesterday haha
How did you come up with 40 lbs in your tires? I have the same tires and not sure what to put in them
+Dana Stinson the suggested is 32 but some guys run higher numbers to avoid increased wear. At 32, i felt like i was running flat lol
Did you do mileage stock? I have 275 /70 tires and 300 pounds tools , 16 mpg is average on highway.
+Robert Rousseaux 👍🏼👍🏼
I can't remember, did you test the city mpg's? If so, what was the average? Also, I'm guessing the super charge didn't really hurt or help your mpg's, seems to be about the same.
+Mark Gennaro i havent done the pump calculations of the city yet

+Van HellChenyo please keep me informed on that!
Will do bro! If they can't or didn't install the sway bar I would hope they don't charge me for the sway bar LOL!

First two tanks on my "new" 2014 limited getting 16.1mpg as well. No SC though.
+Aaron Alexander not bad!
wow a full service gas station have not seen one of those in years :)
+Gary Finnstrom haha NJ state law
haha NJ and Oregon only two states where they don't trust people to fill their own tank
+Joe haha that’s correct
I had those tires on my Chevy 2500, load range E and there was no issue with noise. Your MPG is very close to my stock SR5 so you are doing well with lots more POWER!

A lil off topic, but I was wondering, will you do a video on installing compartment storage underneath your back seats?
+mark gonzalez stay tuned 😮😮😮
It’s so strange seeing you have someone pump your gas!! Watching more for MPG results...😎
+ThrobbNation haha good ole NJ
With My heavy foot in my 6.0 i get about 10.5 miles per gallon, its stock, but now its got some issues, but still running, so 16.1 Mpg is not bad at all!!!
+dancemasterfreak456 what issues are you seeing??
TundraDude34 Well for one, the power steering pump groans in tight maneuvers, so the power steering pump is starting to go out, then a neighbor mechanic friend of mine told me that the idler pulley i believe is going out because there is some loud squeek coming from under the hood, especially when its around 30-40-50 degrees out, plus i drove it around today and its not feeling like itself, bad Battery, ect, but i am getting a new car tomorrow, the Express isnt getting replaced though, Not to mention its a 3500 so parts are much more expensive, all 4 rotors and pads new are nearly 800 dollars alone, for just the parts, not counting labor!!!
+dancemasterfreak456 wait wait, what new car???
TundraDude34 Its not a Toyota, YET, but its an 04 Grand Marquis Ultimate Edition 137k miles, Its a work in progress, I will get a Tundra Eventually, things take time!!
+dancemasterfreak456 nothing wrong with that at all, congrats!
Great video!
+Philip Kapsis thanks dude!
I do not see your logo on the radio.
+Andy Kendrick hahaha one of these videos
Finally my 17 goes in to have the rear bumper aligned correctly. This is after two visits and many phone calls. I’d be lying if I said wasn’t disappointed with the dealer and the Toyota complaint department. Let’s hope this will end this issue.
+Asaf Farfar double check the work before leaving the dealer
TundraDude34 ALLWAYS !!
I should comment on the new shirt. But I will just keep it to my zombie self. LOL
+Tom Moser haha i knew people would take that wrong. The joke originally was i bought the TRD Pro to get to the safe zone during the zombie apocalypse, because zombies love chrome (hence why i bought the non chrome pro lol)
yea I decided not to put a supercharger in my tundra instead I put a can am renegade 1000 in the bed.lol
+ralph P probably wayyyy more fun 🤣🤣🤣
headlights are in and look bad ass. like black chrome on the sides waiting on the led fog lights and maybe soon a harness. Next the sport hood.
Checking to see if the Silverado sport bar can fit my tundra with little changes
+ralph P sounds like a good setup 👍🏼
Speaking of shits (and decals...) wink wink
+CamperMike i havent forgotten u dude, we just got back to making them now 👍🏼
I use an app called Mileage Keeper. I use it every time I fill up. In my two years of owning my truck, I've spent a little over $7,000 in gas and filled up close to 3,000 gallons. My overall MPG average is at 13.5. I've done a lot of crazy driving all over the place.

I figured it was 17mpg. So let's add this up big 5.7 engine add supercharger, bigger tires, suspension, and a crew cab. And 16mpg. I'd say pretty dang great.
+Edward Blotnicki im pumped 👍🏼
I’d be happy with 16.1.
It’s been between 13 to 13.2 on mine.
+Asaf Farfar its new, itll break in
TundraDude34 almost 4000 miles
Damn. I get 15.8 running 82 bucking 20-40mph wind gusts in wyoming. Ford 5.0.
+tcarmody123 5.0 coyote, great motor 👍🏼
I'm getting 10 mpg, 16 would blow my mind!
u did played)
+Vltaliy Kryvolevych whats that?
same what takes my 13 tundra..
i did see this video,even tho it was most interesting test...
with gas prices for 93 octane here in canada..not very good idea getting sc.
.... hmm maybe its time to buy a big piece of land up north and dig for oil...
with my 40k+ a year pulling trailer and everything...tundra will become golden.
....unless i buy a second:-)
That is disappointing, I was hoping our computers were reading it right. But after all, it is really good MPG for having all that extra HP, and it's still way ahead of my old Chevy in HP and MPG.
+CA1460 Anctil supercharger, aggressive tires and an off road suspension...i cant be too mad 👍🏼

Not really sure to be honest, probably a slight miscalculation, but the pump can tell no lies lol
Hey Tundra Dude,
I just came across and ordered this Toyota bed light kit which Sparks carries. part number is 00016-34089. Just in case you're interested
cheers
+julian l thanks!! Enjoy it
I laughed at the balancing thing. I used to do reviews on some aquarium stuff back in the day.. Google me sometime.. mojo protein skimmers. Ran a couple forum pages.
I 'll take a new shirt and one for my daughter!
+Jesse Wright 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼!
Your truck still breaking in. Mileage will get better
+Christopher Sotelo definitely, thats why the mpg testing never ends
Lol @ people on their cellphone game... put your phone down and drive people! Such a dumb way to die
+Ryan its extremely inconsiderate of others
You guys have cheap gas it's 3.15 in ca
+MrRussian2023 it fluctuates
I can't believe this shirt!!!! -Chromedog is heartbroken. 😪
Omg did I seriously see someone filling up your truck. Is that laziness or state law. What the hell.
+Mike Hodgens come on, we’ve gone over this, its state law in NJ
TundraDude34 🙄
Why is that a state law. What is the reasoning. I'm confused lol
+Mike Hodgens lol ask the state govt, always has been
I just learn something new bout your state gas pumps
I guessed 16.5
Anyone looking to sell a supercharger
If you end up buying new, check out sparks Parts and use my promo code TundraDude34 to save 5% on the charger

+James Miyake lead footed is way more fun
6 month evaluation, please include how brake pad wear is. My tundra eats brake pads. Thx
+Christopher Sotelo ok will do
Funny you mentioned that. I just had to get new pads myself.
Damn I've had my 2012 since off the lot and haven't had to change the pads,
Flat roads I say you got 18.4 mpg
From my Platinum without Supercharger you are definitely getting less with the Supercharger. However, you have the super fun factor we don't have, well worth a little loss in mpg. You clearly win regardless. Supercharged I'd be happy with 14 mpg. Enjoy it brother.👍👍
+donald brierley thanks!
23 mpg
Do a test with the tuner attached I thought they were supposed to increase MPG as well
+snowfun4every1 the tune is already in the truck
Nocrome.
