I've a 6cyl (all they make) Ranger 4x4 longbox and I get about 24 mpg (but our gallons are 20% bigger here), but the wife has a Toyota Matrix that gets over 40 mpg. Previously I had an 85 Toyota 4wd 4 cyl truck that gave me about 30mpg - small yes, but nothing ever stopped it (not so sure about the Ranger) except that time I got stuck in Mexico...

Ian,
Sounds a bit like fuzzy math to me. Are you sure that isn't 24mpg and 40 mpg per liter? I've owned Toyotas since 1977
and I don't get nearly that kind of mileage.
I'm with you on the narrow spaces though. That's where Toyotas have a definite advantage over full size vehicles.

"40 mpg per liter" sounds fuzzy to me! Fuel efficiency in metric is expressed as litres per 100 kilometres.
Our Matrix gets about 42mpg (Imperial gallon; about 35mpg US) which is about 6.7 litres per 100km. This site http://www.carpages.ca/go/roadtest/2007 ... _test.aspx says 6.4l/100km which is even better.
