    Well finally you admit it. The only difference is I have no value for a lifetime AVG and that is what I have been saying al along. Have a nice day and keep your caps down.

    Averaging 18..But I did not buy the truck caring about MPG....Hell there are planty more smaller "cargo ' haulers out there that get far far better MPG.......HHR comes to mind..MAtrix. RAV, Older Toyota trucks.....

    You don't buy a Tacoma with $2 gas believing it will never go up and especially nowadays with a V6 and fret about miles per gallon.

    Im not sure what Im getting now, but with my truck stock I was around 15-16mpg.
    I drive heavy sometimes, but try to keep my shifts just barely above 2k rpms.
    I will check it again next time I fill up, now that I have slightly bigger tires and a lift.

    But I didnt buy a tacoma for the better mpg's, I baught it bc its a Tacoma.... A bad ass truck!!! :)
