Re: Bought a new (to us) car yesterday.
UPDATE and some answers....we only paid $12,500 for it....
As far as the gas mileage debate since I get my gas for cheap we have burned 2 tanks one highway at 17 mpg and one in town at 13 mpg.

the little 4.0 inline 6 in my jeep has got one of those MPG average thingys and i know its hard to get a steady accurate reading out of it. that damn thing goes forever on a tank of gas. I love that motor, 4.0 inline 6 FTW!

If I wanted to prove it gets excellent mileage I would post a video coasting downhill. :1

You say all these Chevy motors get such great mileage, but I owned one(unlike you) and I drove it for several thousand miles and I KNOW FOR A FACT that it doesn't get anything close to what you're trying to say it gets.

ask anyone else who has a silverado, its just a plain fact... and common sense to people who have a clue that they get better mileage than all the dodge trucks (not counting the mds hemis)
common knowledge...
