But if it were for a TTV8, the added performance will make the gas mileage more justifiable.
35d not a bad choice either.
Plus think of it this way. Discontinued V8 will have higher maintenance cost (parts, etc) in the long run. If TT is the current trend and will be supported, long term maintenance cost should be less.

WTH???
I average 15.2 in my 4.8. I couldn't disagree more about a discontinued (from the X5 maybe but not BMW) V8 having a higher maintenance cost VS a TTV8. Even if I did get 12MPG...this is a 4WD heavy V8 powered truck. What should we expect
