Well, in this new engine, you feel absolutely no difference in it going between 4 and 8 cylinders. Its very smooth. But if the engine chooses random points to fire off just 4 or all 8, its not a revolutionary thing. Being brand new, my mpgs are still climbing. I have around 350 mi on the truck now since the weekend and its about 15-16 mpg thus far driving it at a "conservative" rate. I still think they need to go back to having a manual tranny option in trucks, because I'd have gone with the M6 in this as well.
