Hey everyone, another usual question here. One thing I love about our sixes is their light weight and decent fuel economy compared to there v8 brethren. I say decent because there still pretty low compared To modern sedans. Now I had a question for you all. Should I swap a 200 or a 250 into my car. I don’t really wanna hack up the radiator support that much because I want to be able to take the car back to original any time I want and have it look normal. My other problem is fuel economy. What do people usually get with a 250 or a 200. Online I’m seeing anywhere from 16-22 city for a 200 and 12-18 city for a 250. Highway miles don’t apply to me as I do not take the highway often at all so city is was matters to me. I know these aren’t amazing fuel sippers but it seems to me if a 250 is only getting 1-4 mpg better than a v8 might as well v8 swap it. And I feel like only 16-18 out of a 200 is pretty low. I eventually plan on doing a T5 and better rear gears. Just wanted what your guys average city numbers are with what set up and if I should do a 200 or 250. Thanks everyone
