The last 10 miles are 30 - 45 MPH. This pattern is a 4 day a week ritual for me and I've consistently gotten 24.8MPG for 7 months.
I've made one road trip that was about 500 miles of hi way driving and that trip yielded me 28 MPG average coming and going with air conditioning going full blast.
My opinion of this discussion would be: Ask yourself "why" do I want a V8, if you're satisfied with your answer then thats the car you should buy, If your answer doesn't justify the gas waste that you're having issues with go with the 2LT. Keep us posted no matter what your decision is and post pictures ASAP!

That's it! I'm NOT SATISFIED with my reasons for the V8 although I want one. I am, however, satisfied with my reasons for the V6. But I'm swayed by the consensus here.
