#332 of 348 Re: What is MPG range of 4WD Tacos in 2WD mode? [fastfreddy] by gfunction May 28, 2009 (11:09 am)
Replying to: fastfreddy (Oct 25, 2008 11:10 am) I'm also interested in this...   Do Taco's (and other trucks) get 2WD-like gas mileage when they are operating in 2wd mode?

#335 of 348 2007 Toyota Tacoma Fuel Capacity by tc99 Jul 06, 2009 (5:10 am)
I now know that this is a problem but nevertheless I am guilty, I have been topping off my truck (Toyota Tacoma reg cab, automatic trans) and managing to get 23+ gals in an empty tank. After doing this the first time I noticed that I could drive 500 miles (21.7 MPG) between fuel stops. Being that I drive a lot and hate to stop at the gas station I began to make it a regular practice. This became an issue with the fleet manager so I cut back to 21 gals and about 460 miles between stops.   My questions are, How much gas can you get in the same vehicle? What is the vapor recovery capacity that this extra gas is going into?

#338 of 348 Needs 6 spd auto and new 2.7L by avalon02wh Jul 06, 2009 (1:02 pm)
Seems to me that the Toyota should put the new 2.7L/6spd auto from the Highlander into the Taco. Not only does the engine have 30 more horses, it also would likely increase the EPA mpg ratings to 21/28 from 19/25. The Highlander gets 20/27 mpg while weighing 3850 pounds. The Taco 4x2 access cab weighs 3590.   A two liter diesel getting 140hp and 230 ft/lbs would likely push the Taco to 25/35 mpg. It would make a nice little stump puller too.   This is all fantasy of course. I guess its back to the real world.
