pretty shocked to find out the gas milage they get with 6's (and a 5 in the Colorado). Their observed milages were as bad (even in the 5-cylinder Colorado) as what I got on my last two trips with my Z71.

Muddy,
Amazing, isn't it? I went from a Chevy Blazer 4x4 w/4.3L V6 to a Ford F150 4x4 ext cab w/5.4L V8 and couldn't believe how close overall mileage was with the 2 vehicles. If I remember, the Blazer got 14-15mpg around town whereas the F150 gets 13. I too considered downgrading due to fuel prices but it hardly seems worth it.
