    I saw a small increase in MPG with a Tonneau for what its worth. About 20 miles more per tank when I had my 12'.
    E rated tires brought it down a similar amount as well.
    Also as others mentioned driving habits. keep it under 60-65 mph highway.. but that's hard to do....unless it's Sunday. .. and you have a huge coffee

    That's the most legit reason for mpg improvement from an exhaust.

    I got a Tacoma. If I wanted MPG I would have gotten a Prius.

    It's like there are only 2 options around here.

    Tacoma or Prius?

    Not at all, but you don't buy a truck because of MPG ratings.

    I think the 5-lug is obsolete for Gen 3.
