Seems to me for highway driving the difference between V8 and V6 mpg isn't all that huge. I get 26-27. You might beat that by what 5mpg? That's 20% better? ish.
So based on 1500 miles per month commuting that is a $40 savings. Big whoop.

City driving the V6 will probably save you a bigger % - but that isn't your situation.

I would concur - given you had a 5th gen SS - get a SS or LT1 6th gen. If you were to run factory GY run flats summer tires that would cost you more for sure. But a decent high perf all season won't kill you on cost and wear with 95% highway driving.

You could probably even sell the factory GY's if you get a SS and cover the cost of your first set of all season tires that will last 50% longer.
