I get about 12.5 mpg on 37" tires and 3 miles to work, several more on the highway up to about 65 mph.

I would recommend all the same things, in that order. Do one, then wait, then do another. Air pressure is a mileage killer. I usually keep anywhere between 28-32 psi in the rear (without heavy loads) and 36 psi up front. I'm supercharged and getting 18.6 on highway and about 16.7 - 17 in the city, so there's no way you should be getting 16 highway unless you drive like a maniac! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/drunk.gif" alt="" /> '99 Tacoma Xtra cab V6 TRD TRD Supercharged, URD 7th injector and 2.2" pulley, 32X11.5 BFG All-Terrains, OME 881 3-inch lift/Toytec AAL, 5100 Series Bilsteins all around, and ProComp 130 lights.
