    Rear camera anytime switch, 4x4 Illuminated Switch (from rcbs204) , rear view mirror lift bracket (from ImMrYo), 75 cent tailgate anti-theft. Technically not mods but give me a break I'm trying to fill space here... OEM Leather pkg, keyless unlock & ACC chime silence, BakFlip G2, Ultra Gauge EM, WeatherTech floor mats, OEM roof rack
    Update.. The 69L of 91 octane got me 512km from full to light-on. Same mix of city/hwy driving. Not a huge diff from the 87 (32km). Drove til 550km before filling too.

    Well, I guess I'm a lucky guy
    My 2000, V6 3.4L 4x4 Taco, no mods at all except k&N air filter, 235/75/16 tires, canopy and a home made roof rack w/wind deflector runs in average of 20mpg city/hwy 50/50, 90km on hwy
    For sure lower results in winter:16mpg in average
    Well maintened since I got the truck 3 years ago
    Use the truck as a work/bush truck 30 gravel/70 road
    Drive defensively, use a lot my trans instead breaks, tire well inflated... you know, that kind of stuff to increase your gas milleage...
    It seems to work for me :)

    06 V6 Automatic 4wd. Consistent 545km, 90% city driving to and from work over a 3 week period, lots of cold starts, does just as good as my old 22R powered Toyota's. Not sure about everyone elses but my tank is always full at 66L.

    My best tank ever is hard to beleive at 670km on a road trip, the highway is super hilly and windy, with inconsistent speeds (Hwy 4 to Tofino). Honestly could not believe it. I reset my odo everytime I fill it, and I never add $20 here and there, always run it to fuel light.

    Its weird though, if I run mid grade or premium gas it will consistently get worse economy, maybe to do with the VVTI bumping the timing.

    My best yet I think , 478 kms to the light coming on , refill was 69L

    A day of highway driving seemed to do it for me , I always get 400-420 before the light comes on with my normal , no highway driving

    I was curious to see how much larger your tires are than stock, as that is pretty poor mileage for the best yet.
