[@MultiPurposeReviewer]

Unit per distance might help you with the initial purchase in knowing the savings, but in daily life, distance per unit is way more helpful in my opinion. If you're running low on gas, it's super easy to look at how much you have, and estimate how far you can get on it. I know when my gas light comes on, I still have about 3 gallons left, which I know means I can get another 50-60 miles if I don't drive aggressively. That math is a lot easier to do (and a lot faster in the momentary panic of "Oh no, I'm low on gas!"), rather than "Okay, I have 3 gallons left, and I get 5 gallons per 100 miles, so that's 60% of 100 miles, which means I could get up to 60 more miles." I realize it's pretty much the same thing, but I'd rather know how far I can get on a given amount of fuel than how much fuel it's gonna take to go a given distance.

[@scottboyd8892]

I have to add this. Love the show and how you do the real world testing. I know y’all have said that Ford is mad about the information you put out about the Bronco, but it is also because of the real world testing too. This shows that Ford just isn’t as good as the other two, plus Toyota is about to become more relevant in this segment with the new Tundra.

[@putmeincoach7663]

Toyota will never be relevant again in the half ton market. They missed their shot in 2014.

[@moparproud3978]

Problem is, all we ever hear about Tundra since it came out, is “it’ll be more relevant.” And it absolutely has never happened, nor will it. It’s got its little niche and that’s it, it will never expand to the rest of the full size pickup market. It just won’t. Toyota owns the small pickup segment and the tundra is merely a slightly bigger truck option that can tow a little bit more than Tacoma and still maintain customers.

[@crunchyblack2224]

When is it coming out? Haven’t heard of anything for a redesign....they just do updates.

[@scottboyd8892]

Crunchy Black suppose to be mid to late 2021. At first it was suppose to be released in September or October of this year, but it has been said that they have had a few setbacks in testing. One site has said they are dropping the V8 for a twin turbo V6. I don’t see this happening because of the newer V8 Lexus has come out with. We know The Tundras biggest issue is fuel mileage. It’s sucks!

andrews I daily a f250, why not? Sure the suspension is rougher, waste more fuel, harder to park, and more expensive to run/maintain but I like it and whatever makes me happy is worth it. I like f150s but once you go diesel you never go back.

Hey guys, I’m a part time farmer, industrialist so we only own 4x4 or AWD or at least a “ Bakkie”, that’s local slang for pickup.i hail from South Africa. i am currently running a Mazda BT 50 which is basically a T6 Ford Ranger with the big 3.2 5 cylinder and now I have to say it seems we are far behind because these pickups only put out 147 kw and 450 nm. Which is poor compared to the Rams 193kw and 650nm. I have to say even for such a big rig that ram impressed me with the 9.6ltr/100km. I only get that on a good day. In similar conditions to yours however I can only get it down to about 8.8/100. I just wanted to say I’m super impressed with the ram. How much can it load and tow? The Mazda can carry 1300kg and tow 3500kg. I have loaded it a few times that far. Nice thing about diesels is that even when working hard they drink a lot less than petrol and they always feel strong

I had a 2017 Ram 1500 SLT ecodiesel. Was getting 650-700 KM per tank. Exhaust Manifold cracked for some reason. Traded it in and just got a 2021 RAM 1500 Rebel with the 5.7 L Hemi. Now I'm getting 495-510 KM. I kinda regret the bigger engine.

Plus add the cost of DEF and it will cost less for the gas engine on the highway, but city driving is all together a different story. City for me is 13.5 MPG or 7.41 gallons per 100 miles which would cost $14.00 per 100 miles. Not sure what the diesel gets for the city.

I would say about 1.5 L since the tank capacity is 98 L and it took 96.5 L to refill at the end. ( obviously there could be some variance for fuel in the filler neck and there is also some "expansion space" allotted when they rate the tank capacity)

I don't know why you are converting metric to an American gallon at 3.78 litres . If you are doing the mpg test in Canada you should be using the old imperial gallon at 4.54 litres. As you know that's what we were using before the metric system . I have a 2015 ecodiesel with a 3.55 gear out back . I drive at 120 kph and convert it back ,I get 32.5 mpg all day long.

[@jldude84]

He tried to explain the difference between l/100km and mpg and I still don't understand how they come out any different. 33mpg is 34% less efficient than 50. You convert it to l/100km, (~4.7 & ~7.13 l/100km respectively), and the 7.13 is still 34% less efficient than 4.7.

[@EmilioCu]

Ok…. If I had a car that got 1mpg then upgraded to a car that gets 2 I just saved 5000 gallons. As mpg increase the number of gallons used decrease and vis versa. It’s simple math. Personally when I look at a vehicles fuel economy what I’m thinking is how far I can go without having to fuel up. And MPG is far easier to calculate. 24galX25mpg gives me 600 miles of range. Doesn’t get easier than that.

I disagree that it’s flawed. Fractions don’t care about your feelings

[@Jeffreypark]

How is it flawed? The way you look at and interpret data can be flawed, but 2mpg vs 3mpg is just data. MPG data is useful for when you want to estimate how far you can drive when you buy fuel. Which is much more useful in every day life. If you only know the gallons/100 miles, that makes it more difficult to quickly estimate. EG, if you're getting 50gallons/100miles, how much fuel will you need to go 40 miles? 50/100 = x/40. 100x= 2000. Divide 2000 by 100 = 20 gallons. vs 2X = 40. X = 40/2. X = 20 gallons MPG is a more practical data point because you want to know how far you can go on a tank of gas more often than how much fuel you will burn per 100 km/miles.

l/100 km may be a little bit more convenient in calculations but MPG is a much more sensitive scale. I live in Russia, we use l/100 km and I know people always give rounded numbers. Nobody really takes into account the full number like 7.3 l/100 km, everyone rounds it to 7.5 - or even worse - to 7. If you use MPG you know the much more exact number and if you do serious calculations, especialy when you make buying decision where all you can get is the official rating (not some real world testing with your own driving style) - I think MPG's sensitivity is what you really need.

[@TigerKurdish]

That doesn't make any sense, liters is much smaller increments and is more accurate, if they don't count .5 in your country it's them not counting it has nothing to do with liters count. In liters you can even to grams if you want so it is actually more accurate and straightforward, not counting is a different issue

If the car consumes like 8 to 9 l/100km the number has a pretty big chance to be rounded to either 8 or 9 or with much smaller chance to 8.5. In MPGs its a pretty significant difference of 35 vs 31. Besides, the MPG scale is more accurate when it's actually needed - in high efficiency range. If yor car consumes over let's say 20 l/100 km you're probably a rich ass with a big SUV or a N/A sportscar and you doesn't care wether it's 20 l/100 km or 40, or 60... if you really care about the efficiency, the ecology, etc., you'd appreciate the difference as small as 50 to 51 MPG. Oh, and there's one more thing. It's much more natural when greater number means better. MPGs are designed that way while l/100 km are not.

Where's the math formula? If you tout it, give it!

[@Wauk9390]

If you drove the speed limit you would have easily made over 1000kms.

The solution to this problem is ... go to school and learn some math :)

This gallons per (distance) argument is another tedious bit of 1970s virtue-signaling about saving the planet's fuel supply or whatever. Good grief. Drive the truck you like---and ignore people who have too much time on their hands.

Look at you all smart and stuff........ putito...............

How many FIAT diesels will this thing go thru. FIAT is not known for quality. I am glad i bought a Tundra...pay more at the pump save big at the garage.

[@JPE_DRAEB]

The worse thing about it the engine is it built by FIAT in Italy..

Miles per gallon makes more sense because you can say I need to go 90 miles so I’ll put 5 gallons in. It’s easier to multiply than it is to divide. Who cares about how much you spend per year off the top of your head? A phone calculator is so easy to use if you want. Or just check my spreadsheet and see what my total cost of ownership is... because stats! GPM actually means gallons per minute. I’m seriously considering the quality of education people in Canadia receive. And I say Canadia ironically. Canadia! F*%# yeah! Going to save the mother f*%#ing day yeah! Canadia!

Wtf.... you spent almost $100.00 on Fuel? For 25 gallons.... heck no!!! 👎
