Highly doubtful. I'm sure the 8 speed trans helps, but if its a V6, I doubt it does. V6's on full size trucks get terrible gas mileage because it takes you giving it more has to get it moving. I had a V6 Silverado a couple of years ago and it got worse gas mileage than my 5.3. Of course, a lot is taken into consideration...such as, tire and wheel size, gear ratio, transmission, suspension and don't forget the driver! Lol. I call bs too!

Oh, the good ole 195 horse 4.3 or 350 with two pistons missing. Lol. I believe it. I have heard of people with the 6.2/6l80 combo getting just as good or better mileage than the ones with the 4.3/4l60.

It was a work truck and it was a 2012 4.3. I think they're over the 200 HP mark now. Lol
