What kind of mileage are people getting with the V6, Double cab pre runner?
2012 model. Does it change any going to the Texas Edition?

This topic has been beaten to a point way beyond death...

Just do a quick search, there are many currently active threads on MPG in this forum.

And as far as I know, there is no difference in fuel efficiency across all V6 models, except of course the difference of 4x4 and Prerunner.

i have a 2002 prerunner and avg 17.5 and my best was 21 mpg. not sure what a 2012 would get, but would be interesting to see what changes that have been made in ten years. my 02 has over 300k on it and still runs great.
