Many that purchase the v6 Pony state they buy partially because of mileage per gallon yet I see new threads on a semi regular basis complaining about their mileage. What kind of mileage do you generally see with your particular vehicle. For me I see roughly 15 city (270 miles/430 kilometres) per tank and 24 highway (430 miles/700 kilometres) I find this to be quite commendable for a car with the size of motor I have under the hood.

What do you folk generally get for mpg's??

Insurance is another matter altogether as being a little on the older side of the scale I find my rates are way more than reasonable. I have what is considered a hobbyist type of insurance and pay just under 500.00 per year with an appraisal of just a hair under 60k.

What do you pay to insure your monster???

Holy crap that's high insurance!... Anyway, I've got an 09 V6 and well, I'm not sure about city, but highway I've had it to 33 mpg a few a times. Usually it's about 27-29 ish. All depends how I drive, as I'm sure it is with everyone.... I'm 22 right now and it's 420 for 6 months (or about 70 per month...)

I'm right around $50 a month for full coverage and I'm 22 years old. It's not insured as a daily commuter car though.
