    87,89, or 91 octane?

    I get trip, also tank average and a running average until reset. The 29mpg was a hi way trip of about 200 miles, non-stop and reasonably level grade.

    87,89, or 91 octane?

    I was mainly speaking of the calculations with the factory tires. I have only had the 265 75R17s for 500 miles. They replaced the factory 265 65R17s. My fuel information from the "gadgets" hasen't really jived with calculator math for quite a while. The new tires are only 3% off so I really...

    Things I DON’T like about my Tacoma

    My 16 TRD Sport gripes: 1. Reed-like wind noise from front windows. 3 factory fixes applied to my truck and it is still there. 2. AC vents are quite noisy, never noticed it in my 14 or 00 3. Softest damn paint on the market. Does not stand up to anything. 4. Not Taco, but the Entune App not...

    87,89, or 91 octane?

    Make sure you manually check your mileage. I see a 4 to 5 mpg difference between the computed value versus the value the truck tells me. The truck computer seems to be biased about 5 mpg high. I just put BF Goodrich 31s on my 16 TRD Sport and lost another 3 mpg or more. I went from 21/22 to 18...

    2016 Tacoma 4 door model wind noise

    I’ve had 3 “fixes” applied to my 2016 Tacoma. None successful. Poorly designed seals and weak window frames is my suspicion. It happens on both left and right side, depending on which side the crosswind is from I am going to experiment with a couple of vortex generators along the windshield...

    Wind noise TSB coming this month

    I posted the paperwork earlier. They change the seal to the left and right side of windshield to a hard plastic seal. I can still get an occasional noise but for all intent and purpose it is gone

    Wind noise

    I had the interim fix applied and it helped a lot with the wind noise. Today they applied the complete fix as is installed on the 2017 Tacoma. They replaced the front door seals and replaced the rubber windshield side moldings with a plastic molding. We will see if it solves the reed type noise.

    87,89, or 91 octane?

    I have been switching up between 87 and 91 octane and I really can't see any difference. I have also been checking the accuracy of the computed mileage and I find it witching 1/10th mpg of my calculator Now, 1.5 years and 40,000 miles later, I am finding my truck computer about 4 to 5 miles...

    Kazoo/reed noise

    Driven in pretty heavy winds this week from all sides. I think they solved it. No they haven’t. 3 “fixes” but no solution.
