Why do people pay more for V6 or V8 when I4 meets their needs? (F150, MPG)

[mclarlm]

The 135 just looks like a trip meter (A). That's some great MPG. For those who value MPG, the Civic looks like a great car.

We all like different things.

That was my point. Four cylinder engines have come a long way, and are now as powerful as the V8s of yesteryear.

It was 1996 that I took a brand new Mercury Cougar XR7 with a V8 for a test drive. I had not even left the parking lot before I decided I wanted this. It was my first V8 and have not driven anything but.

Not every car out there have a 4 cylinder option. People drive what they like and what they can afford. Everything i really like out there in cars and trucks only comes in v8 or v6.

I house 5 adults and 4 dogs and travel between Texas and NM five times a year so I need a 6k pound SUV. Are you saying I need a 4 cylinder? Are you nuts or from Ca land of nuts? You have no clue about my needs so either wake up and smell the coffee or get a real education in Tx since you appear clueless?

Your in the US now where we not you nor DC decide what we need

Why would anyone need that feature anyway, just knowing your mpg should be good enough...

I used to own a Honda CR-V that could do that without a sweat.
