Well I am a new/old v6 owner. I have my 91 5.0 that I use for fun, and I just purchased BACK my old 98 off of the kid I sold it to. I never much cared for mileage consumption when I was back in high school in 98 and 99 cause prices were so cheap!!! Well I just filled my first tank from the car returning to my posession and I wanted to check the fuel economy...with minimal mods and I do mean minimal (Mac CAI, Mac UDP's, Pacesetter Y, and 99 GT Catback) I got 28 MPG. Now since I did quite a bit of town driving with a time or two of getting on it again I thought that was impressive, but I am not quite sure. I am just curious as to what you guys are getting.... Thanks!:SNSign:

29-30, all highway... haven't had city driving in over a two years... but back when it was pure city it was about 25mpg... but gas wasn't as big of an issue back then.

Commuting sucks! Mine differs depending on how much stop n go there is or if I'm being a lead foot that week. I usually stay on avg 24 mpg, I'm sure that number would be a lot higher if it were straight highway w/constant speeds.
