i wasnt trying to be a dick, im saying you cant get better gas mileage and keep the same hp and tq, besides ITS A V8 these cars dont get to good of gas mileage when you have mods and stuff so alls i was saying is if you want good gas mileage dont drive a mustang with a v8 whats so hard for you to understand this? if you want to be gas conscious and still drive a mustang buy a 4 cyl or a v6

Thats great! Good for you. So did I until I asked this very same question (10 MPG.) Now Im getting an extra 4 miles to the gallon. Its a little extra cash in my pocket. I think everyone knows they are NOT going to get great gas milage, all they are looking for is better. Know what I mean? I comprehend what your saying but not everyone including myself can afford or much less even wants a Honda. My wife has one and I work on it more than my Mustang?????

Adder, I would be bitching about 22 MPG either..............

Im lucky if I get 180, I think I could get more but my gas guage is jacked up and Im scared of running out of gas. I may get a big 5 gallon gas container and drive it around until it dies to get a more accurate idea.
