Sometimes I really wish I'd gone with a V8 especially as the fuel consumption seems rather dissappointing and similar to what one would get with a V8. We drive it both casually and with a bit of gusto.
Not too sure about the excessive oil consumption, dip stick indicates normal usage (last couple of times I checked)
If I was going to tow a jet ski, boat, bike etc I'd probably get a 4.4 or bigger, just so I'd have confidence in towing with some horses in reserve.

I'm sure I'll be looking for an 4.6 in about 12 months (something like weasels).
