GM Dude said:I know, I know, the latest rumors again this year, are that Gas prices will hit $3 a gallon this summer and stay high. Of course everyone with a good ole' v8, no matter what make, will be hit hard, unless your rich, course my grand prix with a 3.1 gets 17-20 mpgand I'm 17. Anyways, think of high gas prices in a good way, if gas prices hit $4 a gallon, there goes half of the sales for the Mustang right there, Ford will drop the prices like a boulder from a building, the cars will become real cheap. Course only rich people will be able to feed a gas pig at those prices. Of course this will be me, if gas prices hit that high with my grand prix
Ron Jeremy said:I have no clue ab0out what you mean here. Is the LS1 engine the Corvette engine or the Camaro/Firebird engine? There is no way that a V8 LS1 engine can get 30 mpg on the highway. Maybe more like 23 to 25 but not 30 mpg.

Wylde said:Premium gas here in Edmonton, AB (Canada) is already at $4.50 a gallon. We make the damn stuff but our goverment taxes it to death. We are used to that kind of price since it's been in that area for at least 3 years. That doesn't mean we like it, it's a constant item of complaint by anyone who drives.
I am still going to buy a v8 since it will NOT be a daily driver, just a toy. I have a 4 cyl mini truck as my daily driver. I consider it the price to pay for enjoyment.
skywarp said:Your car fairly stock is great. Add the real performance pieces that make the LS1 an awesome performer and watch the mileage go down. Do the cam and head swap that virtually every Ls1 owner does and the car won't be so hot.
No, he says quite cleary that all V-8 will be hurt by a fuel price increase. He also mention his grand prix. The only mention of the new stang is that its sales may be hurt as well. Not to offend you or nothing, but I don't think its wrong for people to discuss those things on here.Z28Marcus said:Um you're missing the point entirely. The initial post in this thread obviously refered to stock fuel economy of the new stang. And given my cars are/were next to stock (as even you pointed out), they're relevant to this discussion. So why would you bring a modifed H/C etc. LS1 into the equation?.. makes no sense for you to do so...

TrueBlueCajun said:I hate to admit it but bring the SVO back. Iron Block 4cyl. with a nice turbo and you're looking at 300hp. Hell, you have SRT-4s doing that now with stage 3 upgrades. You have Civics pushing 300+ fwhp (granted it's a different engine than stock) but it's a 4 banger that gets 30mpg+. The STI and EVOs are there and they have 4 cylinders. You don't really need a V-8 to get hp. That V-8 is there for sound and displacement. Keep the 4-banger RWD and toss some nice gears in it and I'm sure you'll find a happy median.
