V8 engines generally do have lower fuel economy compared to smaller engines like 4-cylinders or even V6s. This is because they have larger displacement, meaning they burn more fuel with each cycle to produce more power. But, are V8 engines as bad for fuel economy as they are reputed to be?
The folks at The Fast Lane Car on YouTube attempts to answer this question as they take a 2024 Ford Mustang GT with 500 horsepower for a road trip that spans hundreds of miles through the mountainous terrain of Colorado. The trip aims to test the fuel efficiency of the powerful muscle car in real-world conditions.
