Unless you drive a diesel.

my 18s give me 16mpg combined city/hwy on an '06 3.0
Wheel size is not a significant factor in fuel economy. Perhaps marginally more aero drag with wider tyres...

Your question to that previous poster: he may or may not come around again to respond... "heavy foot" is a term for one keeping their right foot on the gas pedal firmly, that is, using a 'heavy foot' to mash the gas most of the time, while driving.
Good Luck, mD

2005 4.4 Sport (driven like I stole it)
15 City
21 Highway

From what I'm seeing the 3.0 doesn't get any better mileage yet gives up significantly in the power dept.

I get over 600 kilo's on a tank (2005 4.4), combined city/hwy. My buddies 2006 3.0 has never gotten more than 550.

I was told long before I started searching for my 2005 that the 8 gets better mileage than the 6. Should be no surprise.
