Drove to manitoba and back last summer, averaged 48mpg over almost 2200Km :raspberry always got 43mpg driving 50/50 and driving it hard from every light!

They are getting scarce but can be found if ya look hard, TeamSwift is a great site for locating one. But I think you'll be preoccupied with this project for a while yet.

Heres my MPG tracking page for the car when it was stock

Best is 52.9 as you can see :P

I'm hoping to maintain at least 40 mpg after the swap.

This very car now has a running 2.5L KLZE V6 in it, in different hands. First known front engine V6 swap into a festiva. Obviously the Shogun was the original V6 festiva but those are RR.

No, it took me a year to get STARTED.

Same here pretty much, the festiva and the capri have been sitting since July when I got the bird back on the road, lol.
