Nonhybrid i-Force engine getting up to 30 mpg on highway in the Tacoma

[JenningsESQ]

Looks like if you drive it conservatively / hypermile, the nonhybrid i-Force engine can get up to 30mpg on highway.

See this owner's driving / trip report:

That's good to see. Seeems the i-Force non-hybrid has gotten a pretty good reception from owners and journalists.

SInce the 6th gen 4runner should still weigh a few hundred pounds more than the new Tacoma, should we expect that it'll get a couple MPG less?

Maybe between stock tires and driving conditions.

Hard to say. It will still have better aerodynamics than a truck. I don't think it would be more than one MPG less.

Tundra and Sequoia appear to be rated the same. YMMV

That's what I was thinking. Weight and aerodynamics tradeoff perhaps.
