Default Re: tacoma DC 4x4 auto vs. manual

Wow old thread revival indeed.

Climber76, now a few years later now and in comparing to all the guys w/ autos around here, I seem to beat their mpg (except interstate speeds). Of course probably has to do w/ the driver and the enviroment. Not much stop and go but lots of big hills & winding roads. Can always overgear when engine breaking not needed. I avg 20-20.5 mpg all summer on my 25 mi r/t commute. As other pointed out, you dont save gas by putting in N and rolling to stops anymore. But I can roll to stops just staying in whatever gear w/ foot off gas and shes not burning anything.
