Tacoma = 19-29mpg depending on load and driving habits

Matrix= 25-31 mpg

Tacoma= fits my lifestyle- boats in back or on top ... should last a loooooong time

Matrix= more economical, but cramped and have to buy new rack system

What say the masses?

What says the peanut gallery?

I really don't like cars.
