The amount of energy required to propel the 2014 Toyota Tundra a given distance is a key characteristic for potential buyers. This metric, typically expressed as miles per gallon (MPG) for combined city and highway driving, reflects how efficiently the vehicle utilizes fuel under normal operating conditions. For example, a higher MPG rating indicates less fuel consumption per mile driven, resulting in lower fuel costs.
Understanding the efficiency of a vehicle contributes significantly to long-term ownership costs and environmental impact. Historical context reveals that advancements in engine technology and vehicle design have gradually improved this aspect in trucks over time. Better fuel efficiency translates to less frequent trips to the gas station, reduced carbon emissions, and overall savings for the owner.
