kl, I have a 94 pickup and have just started trying driving techniques. I find that the pulse and glide works really well with the toyota truck on country roads with no traffic:

Accelerate moderately to 50 mph then put it in neutral and turn the key off one click till the motor shuts down, wait a second then turn the key back on, you will see the oil light. Coast all the way down to 30 mph, clutch in, put it in 3rd gear and let out the clutch and the motor will start nice and smooth. Its actually a fun game to see if you can get over hills and how far you can coast, as long as there is no traffic.

Tires are at 44 lbs pressure.

I don't have any aeromods and no cap.

I don't have any numbers on mpg because I ride my bicycle to work and only fill up the tank every month or two, I don't drive much. I have a 2wd anyway so it wouldn't match your potential mpg.
