    Generally, the manual transmission car is usually lower gas mileage than the automatic car.

    2008 last weekend over 464 miles I got 18.4 MPG This was highway through a couple of mountain passes and into Montana at 80-85 MPH as well as tooling around fire roads for a while.

    2015 Sport 4x4 DCSB 6 speed manual with tonneau, highway tires (Bridgestone Duelers)

    20mpg Rounding (19.8 actual) Town driving with hills and some stop lights (not stop and go)
    22mpg Rounding (21.68 actual) Latest Road Trip. Highway with some stop and go. 70mph cruise control

    I've had my taco for about 3.5 weeks now. Took the first road trip to Maine and was nudging 22mpg doing 70mph and hitting some stop and go traffic. Around town and commuting to work its been nudging 20mpg. This is with still trying to learn a new driving style since coming from an Access Cab 4cylinder 5speed manual. So far extremely happy with what I'm getting since its almost a little better than what I got out of the 4 banger.

    Has anyone found/started a thread with MPG's for various tire and lift combos ? I'm searching and can't find any.
