I would disagree...

It would be all the Camaro fanboys who pull up and act like they can take down a 5.0 only to find out they shouldn't have botherd. That is the gas mileage killer ina Mustang

To the OP sorry about your situation.

Best way to get good MPG is to buy something where that was it's top priority in the first place like a Nissan Versa or a VW golf TDI.

Absolutely true! You can buy gas saving gadgets until you're out of money, but your driving style and driving conditions will determine your fuel economy more than ANYTHING.
