    Missing My Last Tacoma --- Had 11 Toyota trucks in the past and many other Toyota cars too.
    ----------o--------o--------o--------o--------

    2009 DC-SB, SR5, TRD, OR, Tow Pkg. w/ 5,000 miles w/ Mobile 1.

    I drive in the small hills of Atlanta .. city/highway 50/50 combo .. and I am averaging from 19.5 to 20.2 without my foot in it.

    In south Georgia, on flat roads at 55 to 60 MPH, I think I can get close to 24 to 25 MPG.

    I can milk mileage out of a vehicle on those flat, south GA back roads (Macon to Thomasville) at night doing a steady 50 - 50 mph.

    Funny thiNG when us Canucks post our miles per gallon. Since we don't use either theoretically....Here's some simple math.

    US MPG = IMP MPG/1.2
    282/ litres per hundred km's gives you IMP MPG
    235 / litres per hundred km's gives you Yankee MPG
    282 / IMP MPG gives litres per hundred km's
    235 / US MPG gives litres per hundred km's
    hmmm
