09 Tacoma Insight Needed

I'm thinking of selling my 95 4Runner and 90 Pickup and getting a Tacoma. I don't do any towing, I do go on relatively long road trips from time to time and I might be living in a place where the weather is not so hot.
I'm trying to decide between a 2WD and 4WD, as well as if I should go with a 4cyl or 6cyl engine. Gas mileage is a factor, no doubt this summer (and all following summers) are going to have expensive gas prices. I live in an area where snow is common and a 4WD truck is a real advantage, but not an absolute necessity.
What is the real gas mileage of the 4 and 6 cylinder engines, both in the 2WD and 4WD? Any convincing arguments for either engine? Anything else you would tell an long time Toyota truck owner about the current Tacomas?
Thanks in advance.
