Resetting the Average MPG to "0"...can anyone confirm this.

I have a 2018 TRD OR with 15,000 miles on it averaging 19.1 MPG.

Can anyone confirm this:

1) If I reset my average mpg to 0 and drive 15 miles...

2) If I test drive a new 2019 PRO resetting the average mpg to 0 and drive 15 miles...

If I do items 1 and 2, should I net close to the same results? If not, why??

My concern is I don't want a Pro if I'm netting an average of 15 mpg...

 

its the same 4runner engine and tranny, don't read too much into it, 15 miles is waaaayyy to short of a distance to try to see fuel consumption. You should see what you're getting in your 2018 now

 

You are overthinking the MPG on the lie-o-meter. The 4Runner with 15,000 may have a slightly better MPG than the new engine because it is better broken in motor but not by much.

 

If nit picking MPG the 4Runner is not for you.

 

You gotta read the thread - I own a 4runner.

 

I read it fine. You worried about a Pro MPG.

 

You should get the same mpg in both trucks. Just changing the tires or tire pressure can change the mpg averages 1-2mpg. So you're really splitting hairs there.
