Id assume it'll have a similar tank capacity to the diesel so youre looking at almost $200 to fill it for a range of 500k's at best.
Gasoline engines like a drink for sure but that’s also where performance and acceleration comes from
Maybe just hold fire on that for now, and see what real world driving brings up but my research found
that the FX4 wheels hurt US Ranger highway miles but no worse than a similar Off Road Colorado (ZX2?)

Concern for fuel economy should be balanced against what we know about full sized pickup fuel economy.
If those bigger Utes can get reasonable economy, I’m willing to bet that buyers will be pleased with the balance.

And let’s be fair, to get the same performance out of say, an LS powered Colorado, those people pay a ton more…
