Someone else will probably jump on it before me (seems to be how it works everytime I find something I like lately) but just let me know, I'd appriciate it.

www.fueleconomy.gov says 4wd Tacomas will get mpg of 15city/18hwy, though in the mileage thread you'll find cases of much worse or better. If you break down your 1050 miles (probably mostly highway) and factor in 17mpg you can estimate about 62 gallons of gas. If gas costs $2.75/gallon on average across your drive you'll have a total fuel cost of around $171. Fuel consumption of course vaires slightly between vehicles and is dependent on the nature of your route, driving style, and what traffic and/or elevation you hit along the way.
