1 Gasoline Engine problem of the 2004 Toyota Tacoma

Failure Date: 05/30/2005

I purchased my Tacoma in 2004 with 6000 miles on it. Every since I bought it, it has been extremely high on gas, only getting between 240-260 miles on a tank. I have taken it to the Toyota dealer and they could not find out what was wrong with it. It feels as if it has a skip in it. I now have 20,789 miles on it and when I took it to the dealer they recommended a fuel injection flush so I had that done but it still feels as though it still has a skip. This is only a 4 cylinder motor shouldn't I be getting better gas mileage?.
