Just wanted to chime in. Bought a Sonic Blue 250 V-10 sport pkg yesterday. Been on the site with my 94 and 99 F-150.not that I was expecting any mileage at all out of the v-10 or I would have bought something else. I got what i wanted. But the wife is freaking out and wants to know when a new engine starts to get any gas milage at all. It is sucking the gas down but we have not even worked through a full tank yet. somebody tell her to quit worrying

Get at least a 1000 miles on it before you'll start to see real, consistent mileage.

Hey Mrs. White99, quit'cha worryin'. If you drive it, the milage will come. Hopefully, more than every other gas station, but, it will definately come.

Mrs white99. just think about it this way. If he bought a dogger it would be in the shop all of the time and then the miliage would have been great... Shop miliage that is..and if it was a chebby then you would have to wear a hood out in public.. I guess that miliage is relevent.
