I have an 02 Lincoln LSE V8. I love my car, and hate the mileage! I have to use premium gasoline or it will blow up! (not really) I plan on getting a CAI with a K&N cone filter to increase power and air flow. I also plan on getting some cherry bombs thrown on later this year too.

My bosses wife has a simaler car to what you have and I've driven it a number of times, what gets you the best gas mileage is taking advantage of the engines extream low end torque, a cold air intake and wide open exhaust will destroy that, you want to keep that engine running as slow as possible as much of the time and your mileage will go up.
