I bought an 04 Tacoma PreRunner / 2.7 engine,single cab,auto trans,two wheel drive 1000 miles ago and I'm averaging 15 mpg.I've been very conservative with my speed and only run the AC when needed on low.My driving only consists of going to and from work,The round trip is approximately 30 miles with 20 of those miles being highway.I may be off base but I did expect better gas mileage the 15 mpg and feel 1000 odometer miles should be enough mileage to settle the engine and get a reasonable gas reading.
I've noticed under the hood a sticker that said conforms to California emissions.I live in Florida.Could these left coast emissions be killing my mileage?The dealer said to take it in but we all been through hell with those guys.Is there any advice anyone can give me about correcting this problem before I take it in and get the royal run around.
With the gas prices the way they are I'm about ready to park it and resurrect my old moth balled dodge back on the road.That 318 got better mileage.I love the Tacoma but the gas is killing me.Any help would be deeply appreciated and please spare my feeling by telling me of your great mileage with your Tacoma,I already feel crappy enough )-;
Ray,
