    I am new to the Tacoma world. I have owned quite a few of the 90-95 models. I am looking for tips to get better mileage out of it. It's a 08 4x4 with 4.0. Any tips would be appreciate it. Not trying to break the bank.

    Lighten up your right foot and take off the 285s... Aside from those two things you are pretty much out of luck. These trucks are about as aerodynamic as a cereal box and the lack of engine power does not help. Mileage is not our strong suit.
