I bought a '93 Crown Vic new, now with 160,000 miles. She'll gobble up a quart of oil every 2k miles, but on the road at 55 mph I get 24+ mpg. Towing a 3,600lb boat/trailer I get 16 mpg (again at 55 mph)... absolutely no mechanical probs except for the EGR valve clogging up regularly.<br /><br />I don't think the new Crown Vics have much of a tow rating though (1,500 lbs?).<br /><br /> http://www.hillerford.com/Web Pages...3/2003cars/2003cartrailertow/03cartowmain.htm
