Aaron, don't get upset, folks are just offering responses to your question. NHRABill, myself, and Frank Lee all have full-size trucks/SUV, totally understand the need for em. However you did say you were in it for
pure fuel economy, if you don't tow and don't need power, why get a Silverado for economy? The Z71 option (at least on mine) is just decals and a skidplate - not really essential. The v6 and v8 get almost identical mpg, figure in the v6 gets driven harder to perform the same, its a tie. As others said, a 99-04 S-10 4 cyl will be better on gas, and way cheaper to buy.
