Your brake calipers are dragging, the slip pins are corroded, pistons may stuck . In essence, it is slowing your vehicle down with the constant friction. Have your brakes checked for proper operation with a good mechanic you trust.

What is the MPG for a 1994 Toyota pickup truck?

Depends on how you drive it. At 60 MPH with the tailgate down and no A/C, I get about 23 mpg. At 70, I get about 20 mpg. At 55, I get about 24 mpg. Turn on the A/C and the mileage goes down a bit. Open the windows, and the mileage goes down a bit. Drive like a bonehead (speed, jackrabbit), and the mileage goes down more than a bit. Terrain and weather will affect it, as well as tires, tire inflation, maladjusted brakes, etc.


How do you reset the maintenance reminder in a 2004 Toyota Camry?

Make sure odometer is on the mileage screen (not TRIP A or B), insert ignition key but do not turn. Then Hold down the reset button, turn the ignition key to the ON position only. Keep holding the button down until the mileage zeros out. Hold it down until the mileage comes back on. Turn the ignition off and then on, the Maintenance required light should be off now.
