I feel the exact opposite... the 3.0's mileage is already terrible, so why not go all the way for the extra performance? If we truly cared about fuel economy over performance in our SUVs, we wouldn't be in a BMW X5 forum, would we?
They both suck gas. But my 3.0 sucks a little less than the 4.8 (about a quart of gas every 5 miles).

But then again, if I wanted a gas saving skateboard, I'd have bought a Prius.
