    sadly, I've only put Husky Liners in it thus far - tend to blow all my cash on my bikes and guitars.
    My '08 4.0L has NEVER come close to 400 miles on a tank of gas since new........maybe if I swap out the tires / wheels over to a set of 17"x3" that would help;)

    This is almost exactly what I get with my truck, and I don't drive hard at all. All the guys getting 400+ before the light comes on must either be driving PreRunners or have done something right to have God smile on them so much.

    I can pretty consistently get 19-20 in a mostly highway (with some city) situation, but anything more than that is just luck.

    Too few to list.
    I've gotten just a little bit over 400 miles in a 4x4 6spd all highway with about 600lbs of cargo.

    I bought my 4x4 access cab back in August and stepped out of a Dodge quad cab Hemi4x4.
    The Dodge averaged 13-14 mpg so I have really watched the fuel economy on the Tacoma. With stock wheels and tires and no performance mods I am seeing consistently 19-20 mpg with about 50/50 city/hwy driving. The light comes on at around 350 miles and I stretched it to 380 before filling up. Normally after 300 miles I go ahead and fill up.
    I could go just about as far per tank with either truck but I was using 5-6 more gallons with the dodge. Needless to say I'm not missing the extra $$ the Dodge was costing me a month in fuel costs ;)

    I get 2 to 250 :(


    Then again my odometer is off a little so maybe a little more.


    Im seriously considering ditching my duratracs for some A/T's the mpg are killing me.
