Can anyone tell me any "basic" rules as far as gas-mileage and towing and differences between a V6 and a V8. I have a 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee and during the season, I get around 13.5 miles/gallon towing my 680T Ranger. The Jeep has about 100,000 miles and I am getting ready to buy another SUV because I have had lots of problems that just keep showing up. Just looking for some basic info such as "a V8 is better for towing because etc..." if that is the case. I know there are some newer V6's that are coming stock with 270 hp as in the Toyota 4Runner which to me is a lot of power?

Thanks,

Chas Martin
