    Hello to all on the Forum. I have returned to Toyota and especially the Tacoma after many years being away. I am finally tired of the big gas expense of owning my V8 Dakota for nearly 10 years. I own a brand new '08 Taco Access, 2.7L, 5 speed manual 4X4 and loving it so far. Tomorrow will be one week old for my vehicle and so far have put lots of fun miles on it. I am averaging 25.9 mpg! Sounds great to me so far! That's amazing to me as my Dakota was averaging maybe 15mpg, if I was lucky. Looking forward to reading all the mods etc. on the forum. Feel free to post threads if you have any performance mods etc. that won't affect gas mileage too much.
