Don't believe the mileage numbers. I had a 2000 V6 because it was what I could afford at the time. I traded it in on my 03GT that I now drive. I get better gas mileage in the GT than I ever got in the 6. After putting on a catted X pipe and Mac 2 Chamber mufflers, changing the rear gears from 3.27s to 3.73s and reprogramming the chip and changing the A/F ratio to a point that I have to run 91 Octane or higher, I averaged 22 MPG this weekend. I did a few high RPM passes on the back highways and I averaged between 70 and 80 the whole way. Stop light take offs were not generally gentle. The V6 mileage I never got the rated 26, I usually stayed around 21-22 highway, and before mods the GT was getting 26-28 highway. Insurance is higher, but the car drives way better. The single tire fryer V6 loved to try to spin out when the roads were just a little wet. The GT stays strait unless you get in it.
