Actual MPG's of 8 cyl's

[smd4life 5,000+ posts]

I have a 1998 Mustang with a 3.8 and I only get about 11-13 MPG. It blows Im lucky to get 150 miles out of a full tank. I do have a ton of stuff in it tho.

Sorry to thread jack, but I think its crazy. I got the car new in 98 and it got around 300 miles to the tank no prob. Needless to say, I don't drive it that often these days.

those tail lights add HP...NOT MPG

but an 03 z06 vette gets around 30 on the interstate

'98 3.8L V6 [Mustang Coupe]

3-5 MPG. No leaks that I can see. Fresh oil, air filter about 100 miles ago, spark plugs a while back... No add-ons, and I only have a moderate amount of weight in the back [2-10", 2 amps, one box]

Something's wrong //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

I drive to / from school every day [10 miles round trip] plus some extra driving occasionally and I use up 1/4 a tank per day.

But I wanna get a V8-something. I was thinking of buying a high-performance V8 or a HO V6 S/C'd... odds are I'd get better MPG
