I've got a 1998 Mustang GT Convertible. I love it except, with gas prices going through the roof, I'm wondering about the wisdom of switching out the engine to a V6. Anybody got any notions as to whether this will give me any substantial savings on gas mileage, etc.. I currently get 16-18mpg in the city--which is where I do most of my driving. I don't really need all the power and with what I owe, I think I'd be cutting off my nose to spite my face if I try and trade for a V6.
