V8 guys- what kind of mileage do you get? Reply #30 – February 20, 2008, 12:53:11 AM Quote from: Red_LX;201448So, my winter beater tempo is probably done after this year. Body and chassis are getting questionable, and I want something that isn't quite such a clunker.I've been toying with the idea of picking up V8 Bird to drive during the winter on days when the weather isn't too bad (truck would be reserved for those days), especially since I could probably get one fairly cheap and I think it'd be a nice driver that I could still play with a bit, unlike the tempo.Just wondering what mileage you guys get...if it's manageable, I may go for it. I only drive about 10 miles to work these days.a got a 351 in my bird and mileage (14)is better than tire ware:burnout: my dd is a mark 7 (88) and with the aod i get around 22 :birdsmily: Quote Selected
