ohsigmachi-where have you been for the last ten years? there are tons of v8's that get great gas mileage. ever heard of lincoln Mark VIII? those will get 30 easily. cadillac? camaro? the new gm V8's get great mileage as well. just as good if not better than any stock zetec.
Where have I been, I live in the present and constantly look torward the FUTURE. Maybe 5 years ago 30/23mpg was considered good gas mileage, but w/ ever climbing gas prices(I'm still paying 1.30 for 87 octane!!) and the introduction of super high efficiency hybrid cars into the mainstream markets, in the future V8's are going to be in trucks and SUV and that's about it. And for god's sake quit harping about the D@mn Licoln, my offer still stands: you bring the Granny-mobile and I'll bring the Zetec and we'll see who leaves with the grins. When my Zetec gets turbo'd my car will have cost 20K less(total including car) than a new a lincoln and it will beat the pants off of nearly any car you care to name(Chatterhams not included :p )
About the GM V8's can you name a GM passenger car currently in production w/ a V8 and rear wheel drive besides a corvette?...didn't think so
