[QUOTE="Gavin Allan, post: 1020621, member: 60736"] +1 what Yardsale says. Don't stress out how full you fill the tank every time. Just fill it up, record the mileage, and from that time forward record every bit of gas you put in it, even if it is just $5 worth. Then, after 6-8 tanks, check divide the total amount of gas that you put in it by the total miles driven. The more tanks of gas and mileage you use, the more accurate the average MPG will be. None of my Tracs have ever gotten more than an average of 18 MPG on the highway for long trips, and my average for all miles driven in town and on highway is around 13 MPG. If you want great gas mileage, you should have gotten a Prius. Maybe a 4-cylinder base model Tacoma might do a little better. These Tracs are HEAVY vehicles with poor aerodynamics, and it takes some fuel to push them down the road. [/QUOTE]
