oh ok, i guess i'm not in too bad of shape then.. I get around the same as you... but damn... sure do want to be able to get more out of each gallon... maybe changing my wires, air filter, and rotor cap will do me a little justice

I'd suggest selling the 5.0 V8 Mustang and buying a Prius Hybrid.

If you're worried about gas mileage, you're driving the wrong vehicle

^^^ funny post, like if i baby it i get jsut under 300 a tank, if i'm having fun i can waste a tank in 75... if you really worried about milage get longer gears, but then again every one here is trying to go faster so thats kind of a step backward, get a quick change rear lol that would do it... not being serious
