My GTP got 24 in the city, and 33 on the highway when it had cold air and headers. You might look into something like that if you're interested in those kinds of cars.

Yeah dude if you don't get an LS1, get a damn GTP. Those are pretty nice, and they get some badass gas mileage! My friend has one and the gas mileage is pretty great, and the car is also pretty quick.

Get yourself a pre 1995 TaurusSHO or older. You get the best of both words. American body with a Japanese Yamaha 24v engine that lasts an average of 300k miles.

I would sell my 96' Prelude to you. It gets great gas mileage. Check it out on my Fquick page.
