[4.6boy]

i am getting about 120miles with 87 all nyc street driving and just a cai and flows its a auto is ths bad for all stop and go driving? also i was getting better mpg with 93?

 

[Mustang5L5]

That's 8MPG. That's pretty bad.


Even when i do all city driving, i get typically 175 gallons to a tank...and i drive aggressively.



Also, if your car is bone stock, it should get better gas mileage on 87 octane.

i know lol its bone stock with just a cai and at catback i changed the plugs with motorcraft ones

 

[evil281]

wow i get like 260 mile per tank on 91 all city and kinda agressive, thats when light comes on just about, i average 19 miles per gallon

When was the last time you changed the fuel filter?

How do you drive? Are you always on the throttle?

 

[SilverBullet00]

Thats horrible gas mileage! I get anywhere from 15-19mpg in the city with the mods in my sig... you should be getting around 19-20....

u should try changing ur fuel filter, 5 minute change out really help my car run smoother cause it was clogged with gunk

Guys, you have to remember he stated NYC driving. I've never been there, but I imagine you spend more time idling than moving which obviously would KILL gas mileage. Also, he never stated how many gallons were used in these 120 miles.
I get 19-20mpg in my city driving, but traffic generally moves well with good distance between stop lights. That's around 260-280 per tank when I fill her with around 14 gallons.

I get 25-28mpg depending on season and weather. Mostly all highway and I do not stomp on it.

thats nice on the wallet!

I get the same on the highway. These cars are really great cruising in 5th gear. i regularly get 25-27MPG on 87 octane with all highway driving. I drive 50 miles a day on the highway. My start and destination are within 1/2 mile from the on/off ramps...so i truely do nearly 100% highway driving.

that nice for you, the freeway is parallel to the direction i travel but its 3 miles away from my house and then 3 miles back toward my work, so all city for me

sorry about the lack of info i was drinking when i posted this lol i have never changed the fuel filter and i got 73000 miles had it for a yr and only did 3000 miles. bascially were i live its about 200ft blocks then a stop sign or red light and i get on it bit nothing crazy. the car was compltely stock when i got it and its always goting nothing better then 130 miles on a full tank 12 gallons(casue thats when the pump stops)

 

[02nightmaregt]

I get aboot 200 to a tank in town(thats just about all downtown Louisville), and the best i got on the Highway was 377.

 

[evil281]

i would def change out fuel filter at 73k, its like 12 bucks to do it

 

[PULMEOVR]

That is terrible mileage!

I always check my fuel mileage.

I usually get 18 - 21 city driving and 25 - 28 highway driving. My average fuel mileage last season was 22 mpg. My worst ever fuel mileage was 17, and that included several 1/4 mile and 0-60 runs with mostly city driving.

You should do a tune-up.

 

[juecke98gt]

I get 20 mpg with five 0-75 runs at full throttle.

 

[Satin Silver GT]

This Summer on a round trip from Cape Cod to New Hampshire Motor Speedway I got 25.5MPG. Just about all highway with AC on.

 

[4.6boy]

i did a tune up with motorcarft plugs about 1000 miles ago. i was always getting this mpg so it cant be the cai i will change out the fuel filter this weekend. also i dont know to much about the handheld tuners is there one that would fup my gas miles that much (just in chace the old owner used one?)
