What about the 4 cylinder pre-runners? Same story on gas?
Can't believe I'm considering going from v-8 to 4 cyl but I don't think I can keep affording 13-15 mpg

if its 2wd you'll save. even the v6 is better than what you're getting, but not by much. id say 16-20. with the i4, its low 20s on the highway I think. BUT if you look at new 150/1500s these days, they get the same mileage. My dad got 22 from lafayette to br the other day. don't know if you're going strictly used or can afford new.

You won't get 13-15 in a Tacoma. I've had an 05, an 07, and now a '12. The worst I've averaged is 17 in my 07 running 33x12.50 tires. My 05 averaged 20.5 with 265/75/16s and I've averaged a little over 19 with my '12 running 32s. All three were/are v6 Double Cab 4x4s. The 05 was a long bed, the 07 and 12 short beds.
If you need a little more size you need to be looking for an 05+ year model. Anything before 05 will be the smaller 1st generation Tacoma.
Sure, on the highway a new full sized will get the same mileage as a Tacoma, but if you drive in town much the Tacoma will get 2+ mpg better than a full sized truck.
Mileage stats on my '12 since I've owned it (anything 05 or newer would be comparable)
