[QUOTE="kevster30, post: 435801, member: 10"] Bro katakhijau, You must also consider transmission ratios and final drive ratios. In town driving as the car spends a lot of time crawling and idling at traffic light, drive thrus, etc, the 3.0 consumption is marginally higher by 15%. On highway cruising, the 3.0 actually uses less fuel as you are cruising at a much lower rpm. Add both together they are about the same for combined driving between the 2.0 and 3.0. Of course 1st month of ownership of the 3.0 is thirsty as the new owner tends to like to exploit the powerband. [/QUOTE]
