    I have less than 600 miles on my '10 CC TRD OR and got 19 mpg the other day averaging around 74 mph on a mostly highway trip. I have hit 22 mpg in my 07 CC SR5 4wd on trips in the middle of the summer- but average around 20 in that. LOVE THEM BOTH!!!!!!!!!!

    I'm getting 20.3 miles per gallon in my 05 Tacoma Pre-Runner 4.0 V-6

    That is what my Aeroforce Interceptor Scan gauge tells me for average MPG

    Only mods that might be helping me are Mobil 1 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil

    Removed secondary air filter

    Added Borla Cat-Back Exhaust System

    Next will be the AFE Pro Dry S Air Filter and then maybe i'll be at 21MPG:D

    Most all of my driving is around town stop & Go driving, so i'm probably gonna do even better on the highway

    Gas mileage is a pretty good indicator of engine/system health, but you need to keep track of it over time.

    Got 20mpg when I had to pick up the wife from the airport 3 hours away in a snow storm with black ice everywhere. 4WD most of the way and was very gentle on the gas. Didn't go over 55mph.
