The difference in the price between premium vs regular gas is 22 cents or 6%. That translate to a loss of only 1.2miles per gallon if the estimated mpg is 20 on the fj.

the cats are taken off and gas tanks removed. the rest of the taco goes into a shredder and is chopped into tiny peices the size of a fist, motors and all.

Tundras Included ?
A buddy of mine has a buddy who is a toyota mechanic. According to the mechanic tundras are also included in this frame rot buy back.
Has anyone else heard the same thing?
I have got a 2000 tundra and if the deal is as good as I am hearing I might have to jump for it....
Thanks

got a call from Toyota the other night wanting to know how my experience went......I told them it went pretty smooth other than the fact that I was totally inconvenienced for nearly a month and how heartbroken I was to loose my truck that I loved so much, Also that my husband and I used to be a die hard Yota fans but I dont think I could buy another Toyota unless they did something major to rebuild my confidence in their product and that I did buy a Nissan to replace.....there was long pause and then the conversation ended shortly after.
