Yea I don't think he'll eat my 100 shot[sm=badbadbad.gif]...still sounds like a pretty nice sixxer.
No flaming just thought it was funny because the OP made it seem as if since it's a V6 it should get good gas mileage[&:]

you should probably say stock or near stock GTs.

That's what I get and I eat GTs.

HAHAHAHAHAHA sorry to say but the V8s get the same gas mileage
That's what I get in the GT with 4.10s
This is a V6 shouldnt I be around 25 MPG stock?
Mines an 04, 5 spd. and gets 17.5 city if I keep my foot out of it.
It may not be flaming but it's not positive either.

yeah, I got screwed on mileage too. The guy I bought it from was like "I easily get 19mpg in the city".
BS. My average so far, is about 13mpg.

I wouldn't think they would though, since its pretty much got the same displacement per cylinder as a 5.0 (actually slightly more per cylinder), just lacking 2 cylinders, so thats probably what kills our mileage.

Stock vert GTs=not worth the gas
Stock GTs=slow
Bolt-on GTs=not too much better
Cammed or FI would be a different story. (for now)
And my best straight highway MPG is 33.4.

ahhh.. i take it you're referring to the ones that put on exhaust and intake and think they're badass.

EDIT: After reviewing mod ford's forum, it will take every bolt-on available, plus suspension work, DR/slicks and one hell of a driver mod to get the low-13 high-12. I apparently haven't ran into them yet.

RE: V6 MILES PER GALLON???
I just filled up my 97 today after it sat out the winter snow here in Michigan.
I started it about every two weeks and let it run for 15 minutes. When I got it out a few days ago I took it out on the highway and stepped on the gas a few times. Problem I had after letting it sit was the shift cable from the shifter to the automatic was sticking. I got the car back from the transmission guy a few hours ago.
I then drove it another almost 40 miles.
I got just a little better then 21 mpg and that's mostly city with a heavy foot a few times.
My car gets 30 on the highway if you keep it below 65.
So, I don't know what you guys are doing. But stop it and get better mpg.
