is 16/19 MPG Realistic?
Hey all, on edmunds.com they rated a A v6 4wd XCab Tacoma with this MPG Estimate. I'm curious if this is realistic for a stock Taco.

Thanks

i would say that's pretty realistic. if it is stock, then perhaps! you could expect 1 or 2 more.

In my 2001 S/C truck I get approx 18-19 city and 20/21 hiway. I also drive like a grandpa. slow slow slow

having some issues right now with the new sparkplugs (NGK) and a decrease in mpg.

I am getting around 16-17mpg running 32s and 4.10s - so yes, it is realistic.

Just drove from Chico, CA to San Jose, CA. My 97 Limited got 19.34 mpg on the highway, speeds between 70-95 mph, average about 75-80 mph.

i would say it all depends on the size tires you have, supercharger, and so on, but for a stock that seems to be what everyone else is getting.
