Bought a new (to us) car yesterday.

Re: Bought a new (to us) car yesterday.
Those are nice, but I don't see 17mpg city driving out of that thing. How do you know what it gets already? How long have you had it? My Jeep weighs a tad over 4k and it gets about 12mpg city with a 4.7 V8. My Sierra got 9mpg no matter what.
I wouldn't mind having a Tahoe, but I've always thought they were gas hogs.

the 4.7l v8 is pathetic as well as the 318 in the older ones.

310hp/335tq
the 6.0 vortec is

vortec engines are awesome powerplants. just like the lsx engines
OHV all the way, torque + gearing + low revs = power & mileage.
like i've said a million times
