I've owned my '01 Taco since 2005 when I returned to the States from living in Australia for 15 years.

Done a few mods for performance improvement and looking for more, in the MPG area mainly. I seem to get around 21.8 MPG with the A/C on and on cruise control set at 80 on the highway.

Welcome from beautiful NE Iowa, where it is currently winter!

Not bad mpg, 4cylinder or v-6? Keep the tires well inflated, I run about 3psi over what Toyota recommends, keep the speed down to 60 mph, easy on the throttle, easy on the brakes.
