Tacoma MPG Questions
Which Tacoma year gets the best gas mileage?
The 2024 Tacoma Hybrid 4WD holds the top EPA rating at 24 MPG combined (23 city, 24 highway). Among 2026 models, the Tacoma SR5/Sport/PreRunner 2WD is rated at 23 MPG combined.
What's the best gas mileage from a non-hybrid Tacoma?
The 2024 to 2026 Tacoma SR5/Sport/PreRunner 2WD with the 2.4L 4-cylinder and rear-wheel drive is rated at 23 MPG combined (21 city, 26 highway).
Is there still a gas-only Tacoma?
Yes. The 2026 Tacoma lineup includes 8 gas-only versions, rated 20 to 23 MPG combined.
Does four-wheel drive hurt Tacoma fuel economy?
A little. On the 2026 Tacoma, the best rear-wheel drive version is rated at 23 MPG combined and the best four-wheel drive version at 21 MPG.
Why doesn't my Tacoma match the EPA numbers?
EPA tests assume about 300 pounds of passengers and cargo, flat roads and no trailer, and four-wheel-drive trucks are tested in two-wheel drive. Towing, hauling, hills, idling, speed, cold weather and tire pressure all pull real-world numbers down. Use the ratings to compare one truck with another, and track your own with the MPG calculator.

Where These Numbers Come From
Cedrick Reese built this page from the EPA fuel economy file published on fueleconomy.gov. It has 252 ratings for the Tacoma from 1995 to 2026, and every one of them is shown in the table. Each row in the table links to the matching EPA vehicle record, so you can check any figure against the source. Ratings from before 2008 use the EPA's revised estimates, which put older vehicles on the same scale as newer ones. The page is rebuilt whenever the EPA publishes an updated file, which picks up new model years and any rating corrections. The cost calculator uses the gas price you enter rather than a national average, so the result fits where you live.
Ratings on this page come from the EPA file downloaded on October 1, 2026.
