I have 950 miles on my 4wd Sport and have tracked my mileage on all three fills so far:
18.82 80% city
15.6 100% City
18.14 50/50
I figured MPG the old way, miles driven/gallons of gas
In all three fills, the trip computer reading for MPG was so close that I think I will just start using the computer. In my old Sequoia the trip computer was way off. They must have improved the software!

My experience has been pretty much the same so far. I've got 1700 miles on the clock now and the only thing I would add is that on the highway I'm getting 21-22. I haven't had the opportunity to take a longer trip yet to really see what it will do, but so far it's not bad.

Yeah, I have yet to go on a long trip (we go to VT every weekend in the winter). I just changed the air filter to a Toyota TRD, and am changing the oil today to 100% synthetic 5w-30 Amsoil. Should give me a few MPG better.

Currently have about 1100 miles on our AWD HL and around town (lots of stop and go) it's getting about 15.5 mpg which I find somewhat disappointing. I'm no lead foot. On the Highway it does 21-22 mpg. On one trip of 100 miles highway it averaged 22.8 mpg at 60-65 mph. Next week it goes in for an oil change and will drop Mobil 1 (5W-30) Synthetic in. I don't expect much in the way of increased MPG...
