It all depends on your driving style and type of oil you use. I only use Mobil 1 full synthetic and Motorcraft filters. The oil in my car with 6,000 miles on it looks like regular oil when it's new. I sent a sample of oil I changed out of my car that had 8,000 miles on it, to be analyzed and they said it still had at least 3,000 miles of life left in it.

I'm thinking of just going with a GT. I'd just like to know, for those of you who have had both a V6 and GT, how much of a difference do you notice in MPG and how often you fill up?
Also, I made a pro-con list for getting a GT, so any advice on that would be nice.
Pros:
- Much more power, which is what I want (secretly crave).
- Faster.
- Physically/cosmetically more appealing.
- 6-CD changer. No more constantly changing CDs manually. Ugh.
Cons:
- I'm sure I'll have to fill up more.
- Slightly higher car insurance.
That's all I got.

WIth the V8, every mod you buy is that much better compared to doing the same thing on the V6. And the feeling of hearing the V8 sitting next to a ricer at the stop light is priceless.
Honestly, I don't really feel I fill up the tank much more than I did with my V6 because I had to hit my gas so much harder in the V6 to get the acceleration I wanted, I was just burning up so much more gas. I still have my V6 but honestly haven't driven it in over a year... I enjoy the V8 to much.

I'd say go w. the v8, but if your pressed for cash it's not a good idea. My mach 1 gets probably 14 mpg... Starting to be on a first name basis w. the people at the gas station lol
