v6 mpg
There's a rumor going around that the v6 only gets 1 or 2mpg better than the GT.. is this true? When did this come about? I thought the v6 was marginally better on gas than the GT.
I have an 06 pony package in torch red with 30k miles and if it's true.. I'm considering selling it and getting a GT. I can sell my car for $14,500 easy and buy a GT for 17k. The way I figure, I'll make up the difference when it comes time to resell it.

RE: v6 mpg
When I had just an intake and a tune, I could get 28mpg on the highway and 20 in the city. It's a bit worse now with my new tune and delete plates. You'll save more money on the V6 insurance than you will on less burnt gasoline.

I get 27 mpg highway everyday of the week and have gotten 30 on a trip once. Come on in, the water's fine.

RE: v6 mpg
I've got an 05 Stang with the current mods in the sig. I drive about 70 miles to and from work, mostly on the highway, and the best that I had ever gotten was 26 mpg combined.Usually I see a solid 25 mpgcombined.Granted this is with some time hitting the gas more than I should, but darn it.... It's a Mustang after all, and those "Autozone tuned" Civics and other ricers make it imposible for me to drive like an ol' granny all the time!!

^go for it then. Marginally worse gas milege shouldn't hold you back from the better engine.
