    My tacoma 2004 2WD Auto 2.4 uses lots of gas. I've changed, plugs, pcv valve, cleaned the FI, checked the compression, is perfect, the vacum, is perfect, the taco runs real good, it does shake when at the the stop light, smooths out when rolling. No CE light. Any other sugestions from you guys would be greatly appreciated. Thanking in advance.

    As far as the shaking, clean or check the MAF sensor as well as TPS sensor and throttle body cleaning. If none of that works, check your motor mounts. Mine shakes too at lights. As for fuel consumption, those things I just listed should help with that as well. Any slight vacuum leaks can cause the engine to run lean and use more fuel. Also, the fuel filter could need replacing if it hasn't been changed before.
