There both good cars. I wanted a 3, but went home with a 6(YES)! I haven't had any problems with my 6 yet and the Gas mileage is great. I can get about 360 to a tank if I take it easy on the throttle.

 

360? Do you have the V6? The gas tank is a 18 gallon tank. Make sure you use that in the calculation of mileage!

 

I4. I did the calculations. I drive mostly Highway.

 

I get on average about 400-420 miles per tank with my v6... i think that's pretty darn good!

 

Thats pretty damn good.

 

yeah, that's with cold air intake/exhaust setup meanwhile babying my ride and not being heavy on the pedal.
