I consistently get 20+ mpg in my std cab 22re on the hwy. I also try to keep the valves adjusted, clean air filter etc..

My 2.4 does very well on the hwy. Granted, I cannot pull a boat up Jellico mountain doing 80 but I cruise very easily at 70-75. Actually , I feel that is the engine's sweet spot so you do not have to down shift.

I have a 4.11 rear so I am taching over 3k at those speeds. Still get 20+ mpg. That is pretty impressive to me for an engine with 175k miles.

I owned a 96 Taco with the 2.7. Now that was/is a great engine. Lots of power for a 4 and I could pull a bass boat quite easily with it.
