$38.66 fill-up (bend over)

I'm one of those pending V6 owners who really needed a V8, but the wife convinced me the lower price on the V6 was a better idea... I felt pretty crappy about the $5k we saved until I went to lunch today and spent almost $39 to fill-up the current stang v8. So if the reports are correct that I can expect 23-25mpg (hiway) from the v6, I'll be saving what? 25-30% on gas $? DANG! the woman was right again. There'll be no living with her after this......

I have been averaging 23-24 mpg with my 05 v6 manual that I got at the end of march. I have about 6000 miles and split about 50/50 city/hwy driving. I also don't baby it but I don't race either, so it should be pretty easy to achieve that milage without working hard.
