    Over the past few months I've focused on MPG since my daily commute is about 75 miles. Coming from a 2015 Mazda6 & a 2011 BMW 328i, I wanted to see where the Taco sat. I can say I'm pretty impressed with what I get. Mid 20's as far as mileage goes over the last 6 or so fill ups. I've seen as high as 30 mpg!20191110_113352.jpg 20191128_230827.jpg

    A few "mods" done as well.

    *oem side steps
    *tail light (chromeless)
    *coin cubby (black friday special)
    *led headlights & fog lights
    *TRD off road interior mats (mine didnt come with any)



    My SR5 did come with intermediate wipers, so that kool. Have black housing headlights on the way, eager to see those on. Meso interior pieces enroute as well.

    Filled up today...
    Went 454.5 miles to the tank!
    Best tank yet.
    Did the math after filling up (17.763 gallons)
    Came out to 25.58 mpg. Not too shabby.

    Also received black housing headlights & Meso goodies. Will wait til New Years Day for install

    Few months have passed and a lot has happened.
    Sold my first house, and man did my Tacoma come in clutch! Load after load of stuff into storage.
    Bought a new house! Still moving stuff in and the Tacoma hasnt missed a beat.
    Mods have happened too, new to me tonneau cover, pro grill with red letters, debadging, front windows tinted, windshield tinted, new tires and new wheels.
    The wheels and tires going on in a day or two
