Replying to: matt51 (Mar 01, 2008 6:58 pm) I own a 2007 RWD Tundra CrewMax with the iForce 5.7L V8. I love the truck but with the rising gas prices I'm starting to wonder if I made a mistake. I am considering trading it in for a V6 Tacoma DC.   My around town mileage is 12-13, 18-19 highway. From reading this thread it doesn't look like I'll be gaining anything.   Any thoughts or advice are appreciated. Replies to this message: matt51 (Mar 04, 2008 6:34 pm)
#295 of 350 MPG 01 Tacoma by parker65 Mar 03, 2008 (1:50 pm)
I Just purchased a 2001 Tacoma 2.4l. auto. I am not happy with the mpg. Is 15 to 17 in town normal? If not what can I do to increase the mpg? Thanks for any help. Replies to this message: sirac (May 05, 2008 11:13 am) patssfan (Jun 04, 2008 10:09 am)

Replying to: sacsmitty (Mar 03, 2008 11:04 am) Unfortunately, no V6 gasoline truck is going to do a whole lot better. Only Ford Ranger or Tacoma 4 cylinder offer much improvement. Even they do not do nearly as well as a car like a Honda Civic.
#297 of 350 2004 Tacoma Prerunner DoubleCab MPG by suv4betsy Mar 16, 2008 (9:41 am)
I own a - 2004 Tacoma V6 3.4L Automatic DoubleCab 34,000 miles Prerunner Washington (Seattle) 87 Octane (stock - no canopy, no bed cover)   I'm consistently getting 19.5 MPG mostly city driving. I just had the 30K factory service at dealer with this MPG. I had the belts replaced as a whinning noise developed, at my first report the dealer didn't hear the noise, but I said it was louder when the vehicle was cold so they kept it overnight outside in the freezing weather and they heard it, replaced the belts and now it is quiet again, now if I could only get the annoying dash rattles out Overall I'm very happy with this vehicle.   I saw an old posting where a similar truck was getting about 22.5 MPG with high performance spark plugs, oil, and air filter change. At today's gas price of $3.50 gal, based on my annual miles 3+ mpg would save me $250 in gas. Is this realistic improvement? What have you tried and what was the improvement? The high cost of gas now makes the most marginal of MPG improvements attractive in savings. The gas prices are busting the family budget, I'm checking the tire pressure on the Schwinn in the garage
