42mpg? Damn I want his mustang. That's prius territory. My best tank ever was 32.4mpg. I think I average around 27, mostly highway.

Hmm... 42MPG... For some reason this reminds me of an old Seattle Mariners commercial, where they were doing a tounge-in-cheek commercial with the great Jamie Moyer. Moyer was/is known for being the complete opposit of a flame thrower, but the radar gun kept showing 99, 97, 98, etc. ...The commercial ends with the pitching coaches realizing they had the gun on Kmh instead of MPH. Totally unrelated, but couldn't help but be reminded of it.

I thought once you go metric, it becomes l/100km, but I guess if you divide 42 by 1.6 that would be KMPG to MPG giving you about 26.2, thanks 6+6. The equation to convert MPGs to l/100km is 235.2/mpg=liters per 100km.

That's not bad considering if you drive a little spirited. I drive through all the speed traps so try to stay within 10mph over, that keeps me out of trouble for the most part. I always try to remember "9 you're fine, 10 you're mine" lol.

Its more than worth it imo, one of my good buddies has a 2010 v6 and the 3.7 is just a whole different monster. Not to mention once you start modding that thing it just begins to turn into an all out race car
Im pretty sure the 2010 v6 is a 4.0 not a 3.7. Not sure tho

I own both a 2007 4.0 Pony Package, and a 2013 3.7 Performance Package. For sure, there's more power from the 3.7, but I actually kind of prefer the driving experience of the 2007. They're both S197 chassis, both are the same weight, same gears and handling upgrades from the factory, but the 07 just has a better road feel for some reason. I think maybe just because it's a little more basic - less technology, and maybe less insulation? Not sure about the 2010, as it's kind of the worst of both....lower power of the 4.0, but more technology and insulation of the 11-14?
