Heck, I just pulled 39MPG on a trip to Canada on Vanilla's OEM plugs. (I've also pulled 22MPG driving like a squirrel...)

Anti-seize is HIGHLY remommended, especially in aluminum heads...

Just for a lark, make two changes in your car to see if they improve your mileage: Change to one of the Top Tier gasolines as recommended by Toyota http://www.toptiergas.com/retailers.html and add two pounds pressure to your tires all around (assuming you are running 29-30 right now).

Other than that, all I can do is suggest analyzing your driving style...

Good luck!
