Well, personally I don't think you'll see that kind of milage with a V6 in
one of these trucks.
Take a look at the MPG figures for the new full size V6 (injected, etc)
and expect a bit less than they get.
I think a correctly geared and OD'ed 350 with fuel injection could get in
the low 20's for MPG.
Just my .02:)
