    Hi I bought a 2005 w/118000 mi. Love it . First tacoma ever, had a 1985 4-runner long time ago.
    After reading posts I'll treat it like it has never been serviced and get to the garage I trust.
    One question I have is there a way to get better than 14 to 15 mpg ?

    Hi is it a 4 or 6? tune it up change filters and plugs keep an eye on tire pressure and see what you get. Tacomas aren't known for great mileage but you
    should do better than 14-15. good luck welcome

    If you keep your RPMs under 2k (i.e. drive like a grandma in a rush nowhere) you should be able to get decent gas mileage. If I drive like that, I get 18+, if I drive like I want to, I get 16.

    I have a v6, I always chech the tire pressures before I leave home and TRY to drive easy. I plan to do all the suggested maintanence including a full tune-up. I'll keep the results posted.
    Thanks everyone for the feedback. This seems like a great site.
