    I have 1744 miles on my DCSB 4x4 and really love it, this is my fourth Tacoma and second DCSB. I installed an Ultra Gauge and the first tank was 17.4 mpg, every tank from there has improved up to the last tank which got 19.3 and all this is around town. This coincides with figuring the miles by the gallons on the receipt. Maybe it'll go up a little more (or a lot).

    I would be very happy. The best I have ever gotten was 20.4mpg freeway based on my Fuelly app. That was with a light foot and a relatively stock truck and tires, mind you.

    Better than mine. 19.7 is the best I have ever done on the freeway with a light foot and stock truck/tires.

    I just took a trip of around 2000 miles. On the way up I drove 70 and 75 where legal and averaged 22.5. On the way back I was not in such a hurry and drove around 60 and averaged 24.5. The truck now has around 11,000 mile on it. I ran ethanol free gas the whole trip.

    Wowza, how'd you manage to do that in the 4.0L?
