with about 10-15% throttle, too.

2400 for the Tacoma with the same speed, gear and throttle level.

Must be nice to run 2500 @ 70. I run about 3000. and that = about 14-16MPG but at 55 its at 2500, and that = 19-21 MPG

My truck is a base model with no tach, so I couldn't tell you what RPM it cruises at. My civic on the other hand cruises at right about 4-4.5K on the Highway between 70-80.

Feel blessed man, I wish I had the same gearing as you do. I have an auto SR5 and I run a little lower RPM at 70, I am always trying to get past the 73mph mark because the truck hardly makes any torque at all below 2500rpm, once I get up to the 2400-2600rpm range on the freeway I don't have to keep my foot so buried in the pedal to keep it going. I think i am running 4.10 gears with the 265/75 and I would love to bump it up to at least a 4.56 so I can get more torque to the ground at the lower highway speeds. The way I am now it is very hard to keep the truck in overdrive at 68-70 if I hit the slightest uphill, but if I do 75-80 the truck hardly feels the uphills because it operates better in the 2500+ RPM range.
