Generally speaking, mpg is not where it's at with either engine... I
average about 12.2 with my 318 doing mixed but mostly city driving. I
wouldn't think the 360 is *significantly* different but I don't know that
for a fact.
If the 360 was offered in a 4x4 package when I was buying, I probably would
have gone for it. With that said, I am very pleased with the 318 and have
absolutely no regrets.
It's up to you of course, but if you've already ordered your truck I
wouldn't worry about it... Your gonna' be as happy as a kid in a candy
store when it comes in and forget all about the 360 while your tooling
around! :-)

With this talk about the 360 coming out in non-R/T pkgs on the CC, was
wondering if I got the right motor. Wanted the power, but also decent mpg.
Is there much diff between the 2 motors? Planning on headers, air filter,
and cat backs mainly to help with the mpg. Will I be happy with the 318?
Need a little input from you V8 guys/gals out there. And is that rumor or
fact that the 360 will be in the CCs for 2000? Think I am getting the order
jitters...Input please.
