hey all:

I have two separate questions that I'm wanting some suggestions on.

1. I have a 04 Tundra 4.7 that is my daily driver. I get around 20 combined mpg according to my SG2. I've over inflated my tires and removed my mud flaps, and I have a tonneau cover. I'm not real optimistic on me being able to improve on this vehicle's MPG much, but I'd love to get some suggestions on things that may make a noticable difference. I do tow occasionally.

2. Since I drive a gas hog, I'm really wanting to buy another car that is much more fuel efficient. I'd like to buy something in the range of <$3000. I need a 4 door model, as I have a carseat in the back. I'd love some suggestions on some vehicles that can be found in this price range.

Thanks all. I've been brainstorming about both of these for awhile now and would like to get some other thoughts to help me along the way.
