Subject: RE: mpg on little pickup trucks?


S.C. Wisconsin
Some say small pickups don't get any better gas mileage than a full sized. That's somewhat true when they are warmed up and out on the highway. But when you do cold starts and short trips they use almost 50% less than a full sized pickup with a V8. That's what I have found by using my Tacoma with a 4 cylinder for knocking around on the farm. Went from S10 Chevy's to a Tacoma and I don't think I will ever look back. My farm is a 3 mile drive and the Tacoma gets 17 mpg for the short trips, a full size V8 would get about 8 doing the same trips.
