Have you checked the spare tire yet? I hear that if the spare is too low the light will stay on.
My 03 V6 5 speed manual gets between 20-25 mpg.
Its the cold start fuel sensor giving you troubles. Its flooding the engine with fuel.
I can only remember checking my mileage one time and it was basically all on a 4-lane highway. I used the cruise and went 5-7 mph over the posted 65 mph speed limit and averaged just a hair under 29 mpg. That was with the headlights and radio on, too.
Anytime a fuse blows, or a circuit breaker trips, indicates an excessive current [measured in Ampheres (Amps)] flowing in the circuit. This is an abnormal condition, and could be hazardous which is why fuses or circuit breakers are installed in electrical circuits. These safety devices are designed to cut off the electricity to prevent damage to the system, or in a worst case scenario, a fire. When repeated fuse blowing, or breaker tripping, occurs, you must troubleshoot the circuit to find the cause of the overload or short, and then remove/repair the cause before a new fuse can remain in place without blowing.
If it is a 4 cyl. it has 2, one in front of the catalytic converter (Upstream), and one after the catalytic converter (Down stream).
Well, I'm about to have mine changed. And they're estimating it at $450. Ugh.
Howdy Motorheads, I just bought a remanufactured starter by Ultima for my '99 Taco V6 at O'Reilly Auto Parts. It was remanufactured in Mexico. It will be $100 plus some tax after I return the core. My local mechanic uses the same one so I suspect it is AOK.
I just now got the old one out. A difficult and sometimes frustrating job. Removal took me 4 days working on and off due to summer heat. I had to split the old starter in two to get it out. There is very little working room on the V6 4WD model. I posted removal procedure here on WikiAnswers on a separate question.
If the $450 includes a Toyota remanufactured starter I just might go for it. Toyota's remanufactured starter was $220 at the dealer. I suspect their remanufacturing procedures are under greater quality controls than most.

I turned the ignition on, put it in gear and without warning it surged forward at such a high rate of speed; it went about 4-5 feet before I could apply the brakes. I was pushing on the brake so hard trying to stop it, it left a skid mark about 18" that's when the brakes went completely down to the floor. I started pumping the brakes and threw it out of gear. At that time it stopped surging forward but the engine was still racing. Then I turned the ignition off.

You may have a "ground loop" problem on the left turn signal. Check the ground wire at the front and rear signal bulbs.

So I have a 04 tacoma and one night i plugged my car charger into my ciggarette lighter and the stereo stopped working. The lights for the ashtray and the lights that illuminate the temp control knobs still work just not the CD player/radio... I had a CD in the radio and was able to press eject and it came right out... Did I short a circuit? Is the stereo dead? Can I fix it myself? Where and how much? Someone please help!!!
Changing the tire size on this vehicle will adversely effect the handling, speedometer, and fuel economy. The computer on this vehicle cannot be reprogrammed for a larger tire. The OEM tire size is 245/75-16. You could go up to a 255/75-16 without having much effect on handling or performance, but the speedometer would be off around 5 mph. The vehicle will accommodate a very large tire as it is set up like a 4WD, but I do not recommend it.
The 2006 Toyota Tacoma has a 2.7 L base engine size.
