And I'm driving about 75MPH!!!!!!!!!!!! SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTTTTNESS!!!!

Most of you have probably realized that if you KICK the beast she responds quite nicely...but at the cost of a TREMENDOUS amount of fuel.

I love this truck!!! Best of both worlds!!! Drive like a granny(in Tundra terms that means flowing with traffic) and 20MPG...or fly it like a bat outta hell for a little bit of gas money!!!!!!!!
Not true! Drive it in real traffic. Those of you that don't live in Los Angeles or the Bay Area don't realize what traffic is. I bought gas a chevron and it seems to be holding at 15 mpg with premium. And believe me I don't floor it at all. I'm easy on the pedal. And mine is 2wd. I won't name names but I think there is either BS going down or seriously the definition of traffic is different in CA.
