Default To those with the 07 V8's

What type of gas mileage are you getting? I might be able to get a killer deal on an 07 and wondered why loss in gas mileage I would have compared to my 03.

I have a o4 Monte SS but my other car is a 07 Impala SS. It has the 5.3 V8. Same as Monte version the engine has a fuel management system that turns off 4 cylinders when you are not on the gas. Around town I get 14mpg and on the highway I get 23 mpg. If you want to romp on the gas you don't want to know how bad it can get.

V6 vs V8

Bigger engine, More horse power
