the V6 gets no better mileage
it won't last as long either
the V8 has been around for many many years(although the magnum has some
small differences from the other 318's that CC made)
V8 = GOOD
V6 = chopped V8
5.2(.75) = 3.9
a V6 is a V8 with 2 cylanders CHOPPED
do you want a chopped engine
i would rather a chopped neck(from the V8's torque)
