Any FI vehicle is hard on gas with your foot in it. My XR7 got respectable mileage when driven appropriately.



a SC is just not a car thats meant to be driven appropriately

I remember the head gaskets were the most common problem on them. I think i sold mine right before they went out.

Also, you had to remove ALOT of stuff and I think unbolt the engine and move it to get to the spark plugs....



LOL What? Appropriately = like a sane person. Any car you beat the [censored] out of is going to get bad gas mileage.

The HG were a common failure on ALL Ford 3.8.
As for the plugs, you have to change them from under the car...
