I'm glad our tax dollars are going to gas guzzling Hummers.

A good 1/2 of Indiana state police cars I see are unmarked Mustang GTs. Gotta spend the money somehow.

^I'm actually seeing that more and more...

Probably fun to be a state cop these days with something like that.

Yours aren't, mine are. With all the money laundering going on with our past governor and mayors of major cities, I'd rather see it filling up the H2 than in the mayor's newly renovated home.

If it uses 5 more mpg than an interceptor it will take a long time to equal the cost of the new one...

I wouldn't guess that the crown vics get much better the way they are driven.

that hummer must been taken away from drug dealer's car or something... I don't see the purpose of putting those ugly 22"+ on that car as a cop car.

^ I don't like the fact that those pohleese spent tax dollars on such a pricey vehicle. Just be patient and seize a drug dealers vehicle.

I doubt this used used as a typical patrol car, but rather for promotional purposes, as already mentioned.

The way they're driven, I'd probably agree.

My dad drives a 97 Crown Vic. It has 250K on it and he gets 25mpg (mostly hwy).

We keep trying, but he just won't get rid of the damn thing.

25mpg on freeway isn't bad at all... now, what's the mpg on city though? 10? lol

The NC Highway Patrol seized a black C6 Z06 and they've been using it for about a year now. I've seen it on the road twice.
