Re: Gas mileage

one thing you'll definately find with the Mark VIII's...they respond well to maintenance.

new plugs, new filters, and they thrive.

I average 450 miles per tank. it costs me roughly $40.00 to fill up. But i drive mostly freeway, at 50 miles per trip, to and from work. That's 500+ miles a week.

Bless the IMRC's...cruising at 2000 rpms is effortless for these DOHC motors. But when you put your foot in it, you'd swear they could never accomplish 25 mpg or better!

proper air pressure in the tires, a good tune up(no plug wires on the 97-98, they use COP), and you're gonna live the fuel mileage!
