OK well this thread was very big many months ago and there was quite a bit
of discussion about mileage. When all the dust settled it was pretty clear
that those with the V-8s got about 2-3 mpg less than those with the V-6s.
and those with the 4 got 3-4 mpg better than than those with v-6. There are
so many factors that influence this including 4wd, more weight from
extended cabs, truck modifications, truck caps/tonneaus, lead foot drivers
etc.. that its hard to go by one or two peoples testimony. If you save
enough of the responses I think the aggregate will bear these numbers out.
