What Our Members Are Saying about the Real Gas Mileage of the 2006 Toyota Tacoma

2006 Toyota Tacoma Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	4dr Extended Cab 6ft bed 159-horsepower 2.7L I4 5-speed manual RWD	The 4 cyl specifically for a truck is great. According to my computerized Scanguage I am getting a consistent 21-25 mpg per tank with all around driving and commuting. 21 gallong tank. see full Toyota Tacoma review
2007	2dr Regular Cab 6ft bed 159-horsepower 2.7L I4 5-speed manual RWD	Fuel economy was close to the best for the class. I get around 27/mpg at highway speeds. see full Toyota Tacoma review
2006	4dr Crew Cab 5ft bed 236-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic RWD	At the time of purchase, it had the best gas mileage of all the small trucks I looked at. (Ford, Chevy, Mazda, GMC) see full Toyota Tacoma review
2005	4dr Crew Cab 5ft bed 245-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	I get 21mpg in the warm months and only 18mpg in the winter. I use the 4wd a lot when roads are snowy or slippery. I had hoped for better gas mileage and find it ridiculous that there aren't better truck engines available from any of the manufacturers. A turbo-diesel four-cylinder would be much more practical in the Tacoma. see full Toyota Tacoma review

2005	4dr Crew Cab 5ft bed 245-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	I expected better fuel economy for a small truck. But none of the trucks get good economy. The manufacturers need to get with the program on truck fuel economy. see full Toyota Tacoma review
