10mpg is sickening when it is $4.00+ a gallon for 93. I know the whole consensus of "It's a toy that you don't drive everyday so the gas doesn't bother me". At some level 10mpg bothers me especially if I was looking to drive it a out of town on the weekends or put some good seat time in a car. Does anyone have a 03/04 terminator 4V mod engine or a new Coyote mod motor to compare with for the gas mileage? At the end of the day if you drove 5000 miles a year at $4 you are looking at $2000 in gas.....even if you went to a mod motor and got 20mpg you would only have a $1000 savings. Pretty small drop in the bucket but it all adds up. If you were planning on putting some good seat time in one of these cars would you be looking at a mod motor for drive ability and long term durability anyway? Seems like you see many cars that put maybe get 1000-2000 miles on them a year.
