V8 guys- what kind of mileage do you get?

So, 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:

I got 30 out of my turbocoupe with 5 deg base timing and was QUITE happy:D I dont think anybody in my family ever got anything that high, and I'm not sure my brother did either(maybe after the last time we talked to him)with his brand new, like week old prius:flame:
