Gas was not an issue and still is not because there is virtually no difference , and a lot depends on your driving. If I drive my V8 like a normal person and another guy drives a V6 like a hot rod , he will get worse milage than me , it's all relative.
Off road , the name of the game is torque , not HP depending what you are doing. The added weight of the V8 is also insignificant , cost for the V8 option is more expensive. Dont let factors like insurance ect.. factor in what you want. Again is an insignificant amount ( 27.00 diff. ) on my policy for 6mo. wow !
Weather it be for on road or off I would never hesitate to buy a V6. If I was to buy a new one tomorrow and the dealer had one on the lot with all the options I wanted and it had a V6 in it I would be fine with it because it does have some damn good get up and go.
My V8 just silently purrs , its so quiet , it hardly has to work hard to do anything. Goes like a SOB.
Good luck in your decision , PM me if you have any questions about the V8.
