S.

This data is directly from the Chevy website for Silverado 1500 trucks. The 4.3 L V6 (195 HP, 260 lb-ft) 4x4 with a 4-speed auto gets 15/18 MPG city/highway.
The 5.3 L V8 (295 HP, 335 lb-ft) 4x4 with a 4-speed auto gets 15/19 MPG city/highway.

This is just one example of no loss in city MPG but better highway MPG.
