18 city and 24 highway are normal for a v6, a GT gets about the same mpg city/highway because of the power to weight ratio. keep the V6 because you will probably actually save money with insurance and other things.

I'm planning on selling the v6 for a GT. I found a 2004 GT 5speed with 20000 miles on it for 13k. I'm waiting for the owner to respond back. what you guys think about the price?

oh well i still think you can find a new edge for less than 13k but that is very low mileage
