Figured I would throw this up here since it seems like a fun swap. > **[2004 CTS-V - LS7, Ford 9", 500 RWTQ - Cadillac Classifieds - Cadillac Cars,...](http://www.cadillacforums.com/cadillac-classifieds/cadillac-cts-vs-for-sale/p8175-2004-cts-vls7-2c-ford-9-26quot-3b-2c-500rwtq.html)** > > Live community for enthusiasts and owners of Cadillac luxury automobiles.

> [@Quattro Krant](#): > > You could buy this and tell everyone it used to belong to Nolan Ryan LoL I keep thinking that. If you’re talking about my Colorado I already sold it. I’d love to own this car. ---

> [@BigRon](#): > > Yeah. I saw LS engine and wanting a truck on trade and you instantly came to mind. 🙂 Thanks! A guy stopped and looked at the Colorado, loved it and how clean it was and gave me the asking price! Now we only have V8 LSx powered vehicles and the best MPG I get from them all might be 16-18mpg lol. I’d love to have that caddy but I’d have to sell my WS6 now and she isn’t ready for sale yet. Plus I kind of like her. ---

I would love to get 16-18 out of my LSA, but I am averaging 14 or 15 so far. My trip back to Buffalo I am going to try and hypermill it because with 18 gallons and 15 mpg I couldn’t make it home on one tank. So hopefully I can squeeze 18 or 19 out of her and make it. ---

I get over 18mpg out of mine and I really ever use any gear higher than 4th ---
