Yep, 193 HP is not too bad. Compared to a lot of cars. V6 has a lot to offer.

I dunno. My gas mileage is horrible so far...getting roughly 240-250 per tank. I was getting this and beyond on the old V8 T-Bird.

However, the car is amazing...I love it. Get some style mods for my birthday and christmas, along with dual exhuast and K&N (MAF cold air) and we should be rockin'!

Ahh... but you must remember... when the fuel light comes on, there are still THREE gallons in the tank!
so getting 250 miles on 12 gallons isnt so bad

And, I think the t'birds tank was bigger. Good to know that we are getting the same mileage though, most I've got is 280 miles.

I got 357.4 miles on 12.68 gallons in an '04 V6 rental. Of course, that was all highway, cruise on 70 MPH and no stops until it I needed to fill up.

That's not bad at all, unfortunately my right foot makes sure that I only see 70mph for a milisecond as we go higher!

Yes, I believe the T-bird's tank is 16 gallons. Well, that's how big the Mark VIII's tank is.

Honestly, who really cares more about gas mileage than the car? I would rather have a fine lookin/soundin car.

Yeah...the tank I believe was somewhere around 16-17 gallons. I understand what you all are saying...but I drove the T-Bird hard (didn't really care about it, plus it was a V8), and to know I go to a 6er and get the same mileage...WOW! I am affraid to ask what the GT's + get....hahha.
