Yesterday, $2.99 for cheap stuff (85 octane) $3.29 for 89 and $3.49 for 91.

I filled up my Subaru with the cheap stuff and the Tacoma is parked. (30 mpg versus 22 mpg)

55 mph in 5th. When using any gear as long as you don't bog your engine( just before your engine is going to stall) it's ok to use that gear.

I always thought 55 seemed too low for 5th. It's alright to run 5th that low. I usually shift to 5th @ 60 to 65 and I always wondered if 60 was too low.

I think your XRunner could pull 5th gear at 55 mph. I had an '85 4Runner with a 22R-E, 5-speed manual tranny and 4.10 gears; it couldnt pull 5th gear untill you were doing 65 mph. That lil' 4-banger just didnt have the torque to pull 5th gear unless you kept it wound up above 2500 rpm.
