Did anyone realize that the 260 horse 3.5L is rated to get better fuel economy then the 3.0L? Is 28 MPG unreasonable? Probably the 6 Speed.

So 5th generation drivers... what do you get for fuel milage with your 3.0Ls?

23-30 depending on where I go and how long I drive and how fast I drive. But I average 25-26. The 02 probably has a taller 6th gear for highway cruising, it's about time...
