[QUOTE="EIEIO, post: 210513, member: 1947"] When I bought my 01' Chevy HD with a 8.1 litre gas engine I had considered diesel but folks I talked with asked how many miles I'd be driving it in a year. Answer was less than 10K and everyone said I'd be nuts spending the extra on the diesel. My truck now only has just over 40K miles on it and I've been pretty happy. Pulls anything I need it to pull. I also agree on the axle ratio, mine is either a 4:10 or 4:11. I've honestly never even checked it's mileage but I do know it sucks but I knew it would when I bought it. Was told by a dealer once the 8.1 litre engines were getting no worse mileage though than the smaller V-8 gas engines. I also know Chevy claims the 8.1 litre (496) gets better mileage than the 454 they replaced it with. J [/QUOTE]
