[QUOTE="rollingjoe joe, post: 993763, member: 70130"] Without a doubt...V8, the extra power is fun and useful if you tow/carry load. Also, the 6 spd tranny helps bump up highway miles. When cruising at 65mph, your rpm is below 2000 which helps in highway efficiency. Used 87 octane, inflated tires to 36 psi cold, and averaging 68 mph, I got 23 mpg(all highway miles and cruise control) when I drove up from Virginia the day I picked up my STA. IMO, tire inflation really helps...maybe even 1-2mpg. Installed a Zabteck throttle body, Magnaflow exhaust and recently installed an SCT iTSX tuner and while using the 87 MPG tune, I am now averaging 25mpg on highway, cruise control at 65mph. [/QUOTE]
