Re: 5.3L V8 gets better milage than the 3.9L V6

To get back on thread, my step dad had an 81 or 83 buick lesabre, it had the fuel thrifty 4.1L V-6 instead of a V-8. Guess what gears it had? 4.11's.

I think its funny that 20 years later its the same ballgame.

As I said in another post, I just drove a GTP with the 3.9. Its worth the MPG penalty That engine pulls HARD. Great fit for a car like the G6.
