RE: V6 mustang yes or no? - 4/29/2008 7:21:01 AM    28HopUp Team MF Member #028 Posts: 4032 Joined: 5/11/2005 From: Newark, DE USA Status: offline My 98 vert 3.8L/auto got about 18mpg city, and 27mpg highway.  That car was stock.  My modded 06 4.0L/5spd coupe gets 18.5mpg city, and 26mpg highway, and it has 4.10:1 gears! To the OP, there are lots of choices for cars with decent mileage and looks/performance.  A V6 Mustang is a fair compromise on all three of those areas. _____________________________ Best 60' .... 1.906 Best 1/8 ... 9.141 @ 76.29 Best 1/4 ... 14.312 @ 95.67 (in reply to Sidewayz6.0) Post #: 21

I can tell you gas millage SUCKS in the 1st 1000 miles (the manual even says not to bother checking mpg in the 1st 1000). (in reply to Sidewayz6.0) Post #: 22
