I just read an article about "hypermilers"...they use some pretty extreme techniques to get unbelievable gas mileage. I wouldn't recommend most of what they do, but I started doing two tips, which is to drive like your Tundra doesn't have brakes, then shut the engine off at red lights. My city mileage went from 14 to 20! That's even better than my highway mileage of 18.5 mpg (driving 60mph). That's with a 2008 Tundra 4x4 with the 5.7L.
Just a thought. You can search for their tips online.
