My friend has a 5-speed 2000 tacoma with the 2.7L and it gets 22mpg with fairly agressive 31'' yokohama AT-S tires, he was getting 24mpg before that with 31'' good year highway tires.
I believe a 4-cyl tacoma with a 5-speed using 31'' highway tires or LLR tires, an efan conversion and V-6 axle swap* could net high 20s on the highway.
* the 2.7L 4 cylinder came with 4.10 axles and the V6 came with 3.73s
We already know AT vs. HT tires can make a 2mpg difference on a tacoma.
Belt driven fan deletes and efan conversions ususally produce a 2mpg gain, for everyone.
I would bet the axle swap would get another 2mpg.
