I stay out of boost when I drive on the interstate. And when I do, I get 34mpg. Not bad for a car that's AWD, and has over 300 hp. 05 STI. |

That Tacoma gets pretty crappy MPG. I thought it would be a little better than that. That is the same MPG I get with my F-150 Super Crew 4x4 with a 5.4 V8.
I don't know much about these cars but the Subaru BRZ and Scion FR-S look fun on paper and in person. If I was looking for something in that segment I would put them on my list. They remind me of the old 240Z\260Z's.

Yeah 6 speed manual Tacomas are mfgd in Germany. I guess they can't squeeze as much MPG out as the Japanese. |

We are talking about Buck going from a truck to a fuel efficient car. Very few people can tune cars. Period. I'm a gear head and wont even attempt to touch tuning tables. And Buck smokes an OZ of grass every day~ So, my go-to suggestion is not for him to try a hand at tuning to save a few bucks in gasoline. I know a thing or two about big HP Subies, and in my 450 bhp WRX I got about 15 mpg.. (on E85 :P) |

Yep, going for my first in a few minutes. Just needed ideas on cars before I decide what to test drive. I went from a 4 banging Civic to the Tacoma, and I definitely do not want to have a shitty old gas efficient car that I can't have fun in. That's why I'm going for the 500 Abarth. |
