GU, I wasn't poking fun at all if it was taken that way. I, too, have noticed a definite increase in my gas mileage once I get far enough north and west to start using the lower octanes.
2 friends have Tacomas w/V-6 engines, auto trannys and neither gets above 14-15 mpg. Hard to believe,,,sorta.
I didn't take it that way at all. What I always figured was the problem with the Tacoma (at least for gas mileage) was that it was geared very low in the axles and consequently cruised at reasonably high RPMs on the highway. I owned it for about 3 years and sold it when it no longer suited my needs but it was a great truck.
