you do realize that the 4cyl and 6cyl truck don’t have a huge mpg difference ?! my 2000 s-10 4 bannger 5 speed averaged 22mpg and my 1996 sonoma 4.3 auto averaged 19mpg … and a v6 actual moves the truck, if u can’t afford a 3mpg difference good luck shopping ! oh yah and my 97 vette averages 21 so there yah go engine size doesn’t directly equate to good/bad gas milage ---

a 4cyl pickup truck has absolutely no power fyi, but is also difficult to lose control of in the snow. i averaged 22-25 with my s10 back in the day. ---

My buddy’s 97 4cyl 5sp sonoma gets 30mpg and is a beast in the snow once you get it going…I dont need a truck but if I found a 4cyl manual for the right price than I would consider. ---

> [@jltalon](#): > > Please Read…4cyl. Manual!!! Your original description of what you are looking for is a little misleading. When I first read it I understood it as you were looking for a car or small truck with a 4cyl or 6 cyl. No need to get on him… honest mistake.
