I am still getting around 300 miles per tank, but the tank is bigger in the '05. I have already put around 10 tanks of gas through this thing, and I still haven't figured the gas mileage.
Gas mileage isn't a huge issue for me, I'd rather have performance, and if that means I have to buy more gas, so be it....

I've had 5 tanks so far and I'm averaging about 21 mpg. I am on the highway though for probably 50% of my driving. Funny thing though. I ran 87 octane the first two tanks and 91 the last three and noticed a big difference in engine noise and performance. The new 4 liter likes the good stuff. Gas milage is about the same though.

check www.fueleconomy.gov . They list all the specs on every vehicle on the market pertaining to mpg. I did notice they have the 05 Tacoma on there, so check that out. Just click Find and Compare Cars.

Quoting a recent Car and Driver review:
"The Tacoma averaged 18 mpg over 3964 miles, much of it with the trans lazy-shifted from fourth to sixth, where the engine pulls an easy 2600 rpm at 75 mph."

Driving with almost no engine oil...apparently possible
Early Tacoma TechA neighbor asked for motor oil for her 01 4Runner. Her dipstick was bone dry and had burnt oil caked on it, as a daily driver who knows how long it's been that low. It took about 3 quarts to get within the marks. Started the engine, rechecked the level, even with all that fresh oil it's dirty. I...- 2

99 Single Cab - Cab Swap done.
Early Tacoma TechIt was only a matter of time until I would need a new cab. Especially doing what we do without a cage. Memorial day I flopped the truck at Katemcy2. After we got it back on all 4s I pulled the plugs and turned the engine over. Topped off all fluids, put the full doors back on and drove home...- 2
