I disagree. There are plenty of people out there who look quite closely at price and mileage. A modern big 4 banger makes perfectly acceptable levels of power and they can be built considerably cheaper than similar V-6s. The only thing they give up is a little bit of noise and vibration. Those concerned with this will lively want the gas V-8.
