Couldn't resist after seeing a bunch of negative posts on the 3.21. I get why this forum is so lopsided, it's an enthusiast forum so many will be drawn to the 3.92.
But this week I just crushed my best record to date (which was 2 years ago). Back then the best I got was 9.4 l/100 km = 25 mpg. This week, my truck displayed this little goody on the dash:
8.4 = 28 mpg
3 hours 100% freeway driving, avg of 103 km/h, with a light tail wind, MDS disabled, mix of 89 and 91 octane fuel, probably some ethanol in there but cant be certain of the amount.
Reset meter, hopped on the freeway, and snapped pic after 3 hours on the off ramp. So yes, all ideal conditions but it's still far better than anything I've seen with the 3.92. And I probably won't see that again ever, but there is no doubt the MPG savings of the 3.21 are real.
