Really? 1988 = 16/24 compared to 1996= 17/27. :-\


Yeah but your car is as equally underpowered compared to the newer 4.6L :-\ This arguement is so stupid. If your car gets 500mpg great, but its dumb to argue that the bigger and more powerful the motor you have means you get better gas mileage. :l

i read the lx on accident, i thought he had one but didint see they had the other lx motor rated? couldent it be possible that the 5.0 lx has a diffrent gearing than than the gt, expecialy with the OD that lets you cruise around at 1k.

more powerful engine = less pressing on gas to accelerate, climb hills, etc...

more powerful engine can let you have taller gears, letting you cruise at lower rpm...

i made a thread on TM for peopel to post their gas mileage... when you get proved wrong dont try to make up lame internet burns to rebunk me

the LX has the same aod as the GT. but the LX itself is lighter.

my car doesnt have the stock rear end gears. they're pretty short gears they are 3.55s or maybe shorter i dont know exactly

i cruise 65mph in od at about 2800rpms

You posted how some kid heard from his dad that some guy in Texas gets 22mpg out of a 440. Don't post internet hearsay, thats stupid. And what exactly are you going to prove me wrong about? The original argurment was your car gets better gas mileage than a 4-cylinder becuase you have a bigger motor. Should I go on H-T and ask for people to post their best gas mileage with a turbo car? Becuase thats how you'll prove me wrong if you can prove that the bigger the motor the better the gas mileage your going to get.

what the ---- are you rambling about?

go ahead and ask them, it doesnt change the fact that my stang gets almost 30mpg with a ---- load of wot pulls and city driving

my motor is bigger than a STi motor, or a evo8 motor. i get the same or better mileage than both those cars. the corvettes have bigger motors, get better mileage.


and yes, the orginal arguement was my car gets better gas mileage than a 450hp 4 banger.
