    Does anyone else have this set up? I do on my 2012 V6 DC and my mpg on my last fill up was 15.8. Would changing out my air filter or complete air intake help?? If it would help which one would work out best a TRD one or an after market one.

    your stock air intake is sufficent, most people do a drop in afe filter. I have a prerunner access cab, i filled up yesterday and my mpgs were 21.55 everyonce in a while i will go to the autoparts store and get a bottle of techron from chevron and my mpgs will go up a bit. and also when running higher octane your mpgs will be better.

    Understand that I swapped out my stock exhaust for the TRD exhaust. This wouldn't have any effect on MPG would it?
