Granted his was a few years > old, mid to late 90s I think. The newer all aluminum engines from GM and Ford get much better highway mileage than the older cast iron engines. They first came out in the early 90s. I had a 1995 Lincoln Mark VIII with the OHC Aluminum V8. It got 26 mpg on the highway. When it kicked into overdrive, it would loaf along at 1200- 1500 rpm running 80-90 mph. Around town I got about 12 mpg. Wonderful highway car though, which is where I drove it 95% of the time. When I got rid of it with 200,000 miles on it, the engine was still running fine, although the rest of the car -- transmission, climate control, brakes, paint, etc, -- was dead or dying.
