I have an 87 turbo coupe. Kinda thinking of geting rid of it and geting another 5.0. Is this crazy considering the price of gas, and what kinda mileage are some of you getting with your 5.0s.

You can see 20 highway depending on how well its running and how heavy your foot is. City driving is a different story, I've gotten 13mpg tanks all city. I wouldn't call you crazy.

My right foot would never allow that.

Every time I do highway only and calculate it I come up with 25-26. Now I have 3.73s so that might be a little inflated, but 22-24 wouldnt be tough. City driving, well yeah, I dont even bother!
