18 mpg consistently in "stop and go" and highway (mostly stop and go) in metro detroit
the small gas tank makes it seem like it's burning like bob marley |

About 17mpg in mixed driving with mixed shifting (some low rpm for fuel economy and some having fun). Better than I used to get with my 97 GT but still not good. |

I got 20 on my last tank now with 1200 miles on it. There was a good bit of 55-65 highway driving on that tank. |

I wonder if the gas mileage improves with more mileage? Sure looks like it. |

If I would stop unhooking the battery, perhaps mine would seat itself. Battery disconnected after initial purchase, for Driving lamp install, for fuel tank replacement.
V-6 AOD - MPG averaging 18 - 19 w/3,800 miles. Ride him like I'm launching from a 1/4 mile Christmas Tree light, except when my son is in the car with me!!!!

Well mt GT averaged about 17-19 mpg city, 260 miles on a tank avg, but I just got done with a nice long road trip, Used hwy or interstate most of the way, used a/c 90% of the time and had to deal with mountainous terran, But seemed to average a very respectable 27-29 mpg and an unbeleavable 500 miles to a tank est by the comp. I was pleasently surprised how well the car did on the hwy/interstate.  |

On the road (1000 miles!) back home from the dealership: 25.2 MPG!
In town driving to and from work: just shy of 20 MPG (it changes pretty consistently)... really good for a V8, but of the distance between work and home, over 90 percent is freeway on which I always manage hit a little stop and go. |

It seems like I am getting horrible mileage. Part of it is my lead foot, but I can't help the fact I love the sound of the car.
Those of you that are getting good MPG what are your shift points? |

Shift points don't really matter that much. The shifter is not hooked up to the fuel system, it's that little pedal on the right that matters. |
