I'd like a powerful V8 as well....M119...*drool. BUT, I know that if I had one, I'd certainly not be driving it in a way that got me 26mpg....I'd probably be getting 12. Which is bad. And I'd be broke in no time.   Not to mention maintaining the thing would eat me alive too. For now I think I will stick with my good o'l 617. Ample power, and it won't eat me alive in fuel. My last fillup of 14.8 gallons was free anyways. Because of my nifty credit card/gas rewards. Fuel is down to $3.49 here.....and with all my rebates I end up getting it for about $3.24 or so. Not bad.
