It was time to bid adeau to the Tundra after 14 months and 60,000 trouble free KM. Because I spend so many hours in my vehicle I wanted something super comfy that gets better mileage and still has that V8 torque and rumble I like.

My choice

Jeep GC Overland, 5.7 Hemi. Ultra comfortable,heated/cooled seats, great stereo/nav/bluetooth,significantly better milage,360 stock HP,400 ft lbs tq

fills my bill perfectly.

wait… since when do "5.7 hemi" and "significantly better mileage" go together in any way whatsoever.

an improvement from 14 to 17 mpg?

It's been good to him, all the commutes to and from the dt core.

Yeah, hemi instead of diesel? Might as well have bought the SRT.

US gallons or Imperial gallons? And what the hell … mpg? Litres/100 km leaves no doubt about units or comparative change.

Approximately 28mpg is 10L/100KM, in Imperial gallons.
