Re: gas mileage of 4cyl vs V6

.... and this is why I just got the V8 Tundra. My '86 Nissan 4x4 got right
aroudn 20 mpg but I was running that trucks guts out to keep up with
traffic, it seemed like, and when I went to replace it I just didn't see
enough difference between a V6 getting MABYE 18mpg and a V8 getting 16 mpg,
other than that the V8 will get to loaf more!
