Highway mileage in a Town Car with the 4.6 is pretty good - I had an older Marquis with that set up and got as much as 25. Stop and go mileage is absolutely horrible though. The last version of the 4.6 in the Panther platform had about 250 hp - late 1990s versions only had about 190 hp. Not that great for a modern V8 engine with a full computer set up - and down right horrible in a big fat heavy vehicle like the Town Car. Passing on a narrow two lane with hills is an adventure.
Ford was getting very similar performance out of the 302/351 engines - a 1960s design with fuel injection and computer controls added on as the engine evolved. The 4.6/5.4 was designed from the ground up to meet emission requirements and take full advantage of computers. Ford's engines just seemed a full step behind GM and their 4.8 and 5.3 engines. FOrd tried to catch up with the 3 valve versions of the 4.6 and 5.4 but those engines (especially the 5.4) became more powerful but with a lot less reliability.
