I posted a messeage a fee months ago about my gas mileage on an '01 truck. After a trip to the dealership my back brakes were frozen and holding pressure against the brake drum. They replaced the parts and it helped my mileage about 3 mpg. Then I read an article that told you how to clean the Mass Flow Air Sensor. I done that and it is back up to 17 to 18 mpg. It took about 10 minutes and a can of CRC Mass Air Flow Sensor cleaner that cost $7.00 and fixzed my problem. The article reccomended you clean it everytime you change your air filter. Has more power and runs great. If it goes bad it's a 300.00 plus repair. |

I'm a new Tacoma owner and have just burned through my first tank of gas. 21.7 MPG. 380 miles at 17.5 gallons. All city driving and actually used the A/C for about 7 days as I had the windows tinted (have to leave them up for 3-5 days, but I always give it a week). I'll continue to post as I get more data.

Does anyone know if getting the Prerunner version of the 4-cylinder engine has a big impact on the mpg? I was planning on going with a 2.7 Prerunner (I like the body style but would like to get the better gas mileage out of the 4-banger) but I've been reading conflicting information online about the kind of mileage to expect out of it. Some sites claim the Prerunners get just as good mileage as the base models (20 city/28 hwy), while I've read in some online forums that the Prerunners get very similar mileage as the 4x4s (19 city/23 hwy). Starting to wonder if maybe I should just go with the V6 if the I4 Prerunner only gets a few more mpg...any suggestions?

I just purchased a 2007 tacoma with the 4 cyl motor and automatic with cruise control. For the first mpg checked at 360 miles is was a lousy 19.3! This is many highway miles at 70 mph I have the 3:73 rear and have just put in 51 psi of air in my tires. Let's see what happens on the next go round. My 5.3L 2004 1500 silverado with extended cab got this same mileage and I traded it to get better mileage. Boy am I not a fan of this rice burner Would changing the Mass air sensor help to get better MPG at a normal everday RPM's ? Would modifying the air filter and air intake box help and how do you do it? On the chev silverado I put on a K&N cool air filter and new air intake pipe for #$300.00 and it did not help one bit except at 8000RPM- which if right before the engine gives you pieces in return. Would use systhetic oil with a viscocity of "00" help' Tank5
