MPG for V6 Tacoma w/33's

Hey guys, quick question! I have a co worker in the market for a new car... Z4, A4 or Tacoma. Im pushing for the tacoma. She wants one slightly lifted too... but is worried about MPG. For you guys out there with a V6 Tacoma ext cab, prob not 4x4, with 33's what kinda MPG do you guys get? This wont be a new one either... a used Tacoma.

Thanks guys!

I have a prerunner V6, not lifted but with the 265/70-R16 tires and I get almost 20mpg mixed driving. with 33's it might drop it down a bit.

With a V6 and stock gears with 33's, you'll probably be around 15-16 mpg at the very best.

Stock gearing and 33s?
Ouch!

At that size the mileage shouldn't be the concern but rather whether or not she'll be able to speed up from a dead stop to LA freeway speeds in the stretch of road there.
