Question MPG w/ the big V8?

I know what the reviews at Edmunds.com etc say --- but what kinda real-life MPG are you guys with the big 5.7L V8 getting on your new Tundra's?

That's around town, or combined city + highway?

What does it cost to fill a tank? You can use regular 87-octane, right?

And, how do you like it? They seem like awesome trucks...
