Gas milage is about the same with the 2.7 having the edge give or take a couple MPG's.The 3.4 def has more power and torque.But the 2.7 is easier to work on.

I have a similar question pertaining to the 6 cyl. I have a 95 Tacoma with 2.7 L and when new routinely got 25 mpg. Now with over 200,000 miles I'm getting 20 to 22 on the highway depending on hills and speed. I'm thinking of buying a new Tacoma and can't decide if I want to go with the 6 cyl. I've been very happy with the 2.7 L (zero repairs) but can't get the locking rear end unless upgrade to the six. I hate to give up the gas mileage since the brochure says the six only gets 19 mpg. About the same mileage a full size Tundra/Ford/Chevy get with a V8! I can tell you the 2.7 L has plenty of power off road and can easily go 70 on highway towing small enclosed U-haul trailer full of furniture (approx 2000 lb).
