I have a 2011 Tundra Limited Crew Max with a 5.7L Flex Fuel engine that I purchased new in Dec of 2010. I just rolled over 300000 miles on Saturday. 17.5-18.5 highway MPG on regular unleaded since new. Better mileage in summer than winter. Driving I do is between my farm in east central Wisconsin and upstate New York and everywhere in between. No towing but occasionally pick up loads of up to a ton. Use Michelin tires exclusively. X-Ice in winter, ?? in summer. 20" wheels. 0W20 Mobil 1 synthetic oil with changes every 10000 miles.
There are economies realized with this truck that go far beyond simple fuel mileage. For example, I just had new brake rotors and pads installed -at 300000 miles- the old rotors had been turned once and pads replaced-once. Spark plugs every 120000 miles. Changed the radiator fluid once. Replaced the serpentine belt only because I thought it was a good idea. Has a timing chain so no belt to replace. Everything else is original. Battery, exhaust system, no rust, runs like the proverbial swiss watch. Even the light bulbs stay lit. If you use E85 the mpg drop and E85 and regular are so close in price that I don't bother with E85. If you use E85 more than 50% of the time you're supposed to change the engine oil every 5000 miles. For me, it's the perfect truck. Quiet, quiet. I can't stand noisy trucks with all the driving I do. Good ride, too. Oh, I almost forgot. Greaseable zerks on the driveline. Keep it lubed and go a million miles.

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
