One day I will get the supercharger so I can dgaf about the mpg since than ill actually feel like I'm getting something out of the gas I'm dumping into this thing.

A lot of the new V8's have a multi-displacement mode. When you are just cruising, the engine shuts off 4 cylinders. My Dodge with a Hemi motor gets 23 mpg highway.

The current tacoma engine is a 8 year old design. My buddies V8 dual cab tundra gets 17mpg.
