Ok...let's substitute 'high powered yellow Mustang' for SUV....
make more sense?

I'm getting over 21mpg in the Mustang. Not bad. It's not really high powered
though, only a 4.6L.

I thought your Mustang was a GT?

It is. The GT has a 4.6L V-8, with an advertised 300hp. I don't do a lot of drag
racing though. (Although, I *know* it'll do 110mph in 3rd gear - without
redlining.) I've only done that once. That was enough.

Fuel Injected? I didn't know you could push the Ford standard 4.6 L
to 300 hp without altering something major. Supposedly this is Ford's
standard engine package across the product line.

Interesting.

Jim beat me to it, but yeah, with a couple or three or four thousand dollars,
the thing can be taken to 500 or so hp without too much trouble. Of course, the
warranty may not be worth much.

Well, it's rated at 300 hp at 6000 - I'm not sure how much of that 300
is usable.

My truck develops 500 ft lb of torgue at 1600 rpm with 235 hp stock.
Of course, it's not stock. :)
