i averaged 250-300 miles on a tankof fuel in my car with the 2.73's and a 5spd. depended on how i drove it.. sorry.. dont know the conversion to clicks for you.

but i say buy it. i paid 2500 for my car.. but it had way less millage then that.. seems clean though. i say go for it.

I think the 2.3 gets 26-30 MPG and the 5.0 gets 22-26 MPG (not 100% sure though)

I say scoop it up, it looks really clean. You can own a mustang and be worried about gas mileage either

Well my girlfriends mom loaned me $1600 so i went and blew $3500 on this beast. SO much fun to drive. Going form a 4 cylinder to this is like heaven. The car drives great and is in almost perfect condition. Ha ha except there was an inch of water inside the headlight. The only problem i've noticed so far is the check engine light keeps coming on and going away. If i get a chance tomorrow i'm going to run codes. But i figured someone might have an idea of what it could be? It will like flash on then go away and stay for a few seconds then leave, and i dont notice any difference in the way the car drives. I'll post some better pics tomorrow.

first things first, any left over money you have you need to get a full tune-up on it. Oil change, plugs, cap, wires, rotors, distributor, o2 sensors, tfi module, fuel injector cleaning, fuel filter, air filter, mmmmm or maybe thats just some of what i do when i get a new car lol.......im a psycho
