Is it possible, to get 20MPG out of a 2002 Toyota Tundra V8?

My Name is Slim Shady

17 to 18 is the average, I want to improve the mpg if possible.

Yes, stay on a high gear, to keep the revs lower and instead of driving at 70mph on the motorway drive at 60mph. it's proven to lower the amount of fuel u use per mile by a significant amount if you do alot of miles per day.

Maybe....































These may help















Electronic Ignition Systems















Fuel Catalysts















Free-Flow Air Filters















Full Tire Inflation















Intake.















I heard the the Vortex Valve works...































It's a v8 dude.















I dont really know too much































I hope this helps though

Yes, that is reasonable on highway. I drive a Lincoln Town Car with a 5.0L V8 and get 26.4 MPG if I hold 63 MPH. And I have a 3/4 ton Ford that has a 460 V8 that gives exactly 15 MPG at 55 MPH. So 20 MPG with a 5.7 L V8 is within reason at 65 MPH.

Yes, it should be possible with a good driver. Try these assists: Inflate the tires to 40 psi; drive with less than 1/2 tank of gas to save weight; drive on a flat, level, smooth and straight freeway with no stop lights, and very light traffic; drive at a constant 60 MPH in top gear for at least 30 minutes per test using cruise control if you have it. Fill fuel tank at same gas station at beginning and end of test run to the exact same fuel level. Take no passengers in your test runs. RSVP.

The obvious solutions might include tire inflation, and a low restriction intake and exhaust. If you lower your truck's ride height, it will make the Tundra aerodynamically "cleaner". which should be a help.































Another aero aid would be some sort of cover over the bed to ease wind turbulence.
