Oh sure, make me feel guilty on Christmas Eve.
Not up to date. It leveled out at a steady 21-ish MPG. Tonneau did not make a noticeable difference but it could have been that they were starting with the winter gasoline in my area. I'm averaging 19-ish these days. There is a thread on one of the Tacoma forums saying that pulling the intake hose that connects to the fender well (cold air source) can show gains, but I have not tried it yet.

Is yours a 4 cylinder or 6 cylinder? I have a friend with essentially the same truck as mine except manual transmission and 4 cylinder engine. He gets 27-ish. He knows all about hypermiling but claims not to do anything excessive in the truck. (We both run the tires at 40psi.)
