Wrong that's why many midsize trucs like the f150 and silverado and the tundra in fact get better mileage in their V8's than they do in the V6's cause the V6 is just underpowered and not as efficient with such a large vehicle Make ur motor less efficient and have less power for better mileage? really? so none of us should ever do oil changes or change filters or tune up our cars that way they'll have less power and get better gas mileage suure
