35 MPG for V-6?

I saw on the forum that the v-6 gets 35mpg and the v-8 gets 24. are the v-6's really getting that good of fuel milage? If so I'm not changing my order to a v-8 and keeping the v-6 for sure

And the code is now searching for 2LT manuals. Only found two so far and they're pretty low. Almost to 10,000 so we'll see if it finds more.

Here's a link to the page with filters for 2LT Manual

That's not "on the forum". That's an external link. The info is bad.

It's 29 highway. That's like at 55 with cruise control on a level road.

Not quite sure anyone is getting the published MPGs yet. If you look at the V8 threads, most folks are getting from 18-21 MPGs. Some are saying the engine needs to get broken in for the MPGs to improve.
