    Just got my best gas mileage to date. alittle more than 23 mpg. Mind you this is a V6 DC with 5 people in the truck with everyone's backpacks filled with clothes for the weekend.

    Left from Stuttgart Germany to go hang gliding in Interlaken Switzerland.

    On the way home today the light finally came on around ~398 miles. Filled up with ~17.4 gallons at ~402.2 miles. I took pictures since I couldn't believe it, might post them later. I was actually getting a little nervous that the light stopped working. As soon as it came on, I started thinking about seeing if we could make it another 50 miles until we got home. Needless to say, we didn't get greedy.

    It is hard to keep it at 70 or below on the autobahn with others passing but so worth it in the end.

    Thank you TOYOTA.

    20 mpg has proved elusive to me so far. 19.9mpg was the best and that was a road trip with 99.9% Hwy miles. got 18.9mpg on the return trip because of a stinkin head wind.

    Oh, and I drive real easy too. What burns me up is the low grearing in 6th. 69mph and the tac is pushing 2.5K

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    Don't worry, the 5 speed is no better.

    Average about 21 mpg. Best I've ever gotten was 24 on a trip up to Kentucky. All interstate and set the cruise on 70. Everything's still stock on mine. Didn't buy it for the gas mileage. Though 21 is still pretty good for a truck like mine.

    Filled up Sunday, came out to 22.5, previous fill up was 21.5.

    V6, 4x4, Automatic, SR5, Access Cab, stock suspension, easy mixed driving. :)

    The new Hankooks are going on soon though, it will be interesting to see if they adversely affect the MPGs.

    Wow I usually only avg about 16-17mpg :(

    I never broke 18mpg even with stock tires. I think it has to do with the terrain around here and also the 6spd transmission.

    My drive to work is a steady 50-55mph with a few stop signs and traffic lights I have to go through.
