depends on the abuse that its taken, mine has 121,111 on it, and it ran fine b4 I f*ked up my front end. There are several 5.0's that get abused every day that have a LOT more mileage on it than that! ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

For example my 5.0 91LX has about 151K Miles and PEDAL to the METAl every day !!
As long as you take care of it the right way.. Just treat it like your son or daughter or a little baby ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

Considering the average Californian drives 15,000 miles a year...I think it used to be 12,000 miles a year 113,000 it is normal or below average.

I got my 91 with 104k in 1999 I'm now at 147k
SO far no burning oil and fouled plugs... just crappy gas mileage (i'm still trying to find out what the culprit is)

HAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!! ![[worship]](graemlins/worship.gif)
when I first got the car I would avg 170-190 miles on a tank now I'm lucky if I get 120-150.
My 03Cobra averages 170-240 to a tank depending if I drive it like a maniac. ![[burnout]](graemlins/burnout.gif)

147k here and no problems. And I drive her pretty hard most of the time. Just make sure you let it warm up. I know my lady is a cold blooded beast.
