Did you alter the tire size of you LC Premium?
Does anyone actually get the posted 22/24 mpg?

Im gonna catch crap for this, but im hand calculating my MPG's per tank, using only eco mode and driving like slower than crap with 50/50 highway/ city. Im only getting about 19 mpg. Im sure you are all too. Toyota is full of crap for their ratings. I've never seen a manufacturer provide real, honest ratings.
Lots of the East coasters getting 21-23MPG are using 93, which the LC is tuned for
Us here on the West coast using 91 are getting 18-19ish... I'm going to try and find a 93 pump and run two full tanks with it, hand calculating

I’m at 2500 miles with 91 and I’ve never been below 24MPG since day one.
I’ve been as high as 25.8 and that’s 50/50 highway city

Just completed a road trip from SF Bay Area -> Mt St Helens and back and averaged 22.0 mpg for the trip (sticking to 5-10 mph over speed limit, mostly using cruise).
Are you two hand calculating? Or using the displayed MPG on the dash?
Display on dash is not accurate. Hand calculated is the best way to post in here honestly.
Too much trouble.
My continued pain point is the urban neighborhood/residential driving: 5-10 minute drives with stop signs/lights at every other block and speeds between 10-25mph. For a truck with so much power, it sure seems to have to work really hard to get from 0 to 15mph and then even harder to simply stay at that speed. It's like it sees a school zone sign and decides "better spool up the turbo for this!"
Shenandoah valley Virginia here. LC/PP using premium fuel for now. Getting 23 mpg indicated using eco full time. 29 mile commute, 70/30 highway/town. Rolling hills with a final climb of 6 miles on what amounts to a standard mountain in Northern VA. I’ll call it even with the coast down for the return trip. I absolutely light foot it to get up to speed but I do run with the pack at 70-75 mph on the highway (wife HATES it so there is some other inventive too). I haven’t re-set the trip odometer so my 2589 is total miles. I understand “indicated” should be said with a snicker… but it does give me a point to deviate from.
