For everyone's sake, I hope you are right about the 12,000 mile level producing better fuel economy.

I recently test drove an 08 SEL V6 with 13,000 miles. I got 23.5 in city/suburban driving with one aggressive kick-down on the 6 speed trans. Not too bad.

That's not bad at all! The competition would certainly be about the same if not less.
