I don't think it's just me, but I know that trucks and SUV's are not making better gas mileage than either a V6 or a V8 Camaro or Firebird...
No disagreeing with you BlkCamaroSS, but aren't your city mpg estimates a bit off? I have never gotten over 300 on a tank, and I drive mostly city, with a bit of highway mixed in. That means no better than 20 mpg for me, and that's pushing it. And on a scale of 1 to 10 in terms of agressive driving, I am about a 3.
