26 As light at possible w/ tailgate down and 40 PSI 28" tires for less drag

Worst: ~13mpg when I first bought it (winter gas, bad 02 sensor, bad fuel filter, badly in need of tune up)
Best: Just over 20mpg (flatland cruising @ 80mph)
Average: I now average ~17.5mpg (16.5-19.5)(thats 70/30 highway/city driving)
Engine: The hated 3.0L V6 bone stock. Thats running 31x10.5 tires, stock 4.56 gears and summer gas. I run 235/75r15 in the winter and the better mileage from the smaller rubber seems to just exactly counter-measure the mileage drop from the oxygenated winter gas (ie. overall mileage stays the same; corrected for tire size of course).

w: 15, guessing
B: 21.1
a: 19 or so
'00 3.4L Pre Ext. cab on 265's (soon to be on 245 Yoko ST's...hopefully)
I've been told by the dealership that my MAF is out and is causing me to burn rich. Does this sound reasonable? Debating whether to spend $100 on a used one ('twas in a wreck).
We'll see how diff the MPG is after the tires, MAF, and a high flow filter.

2. Best = 27 mpg (lazy drive through Yellowstone Park)
3. Average = 18-22 mpg (between city and highway driving)
4. Engine type = 2.7L (4x4 Tacoma Xcab)
