Average gas mileage

[CALIstanggt]

hey what is ur average gas mileage because ive been getting an average of 14.7 for a v6. That seems pretty low and i dont drive fast. Anyone have any suggestions on what could be the problum? thanks

I have 3.27's and with about half highway and half city I get 22-24.

25.7 mpg after I filled up at $2.05/gallon today (93 octane)

If you have a 5 speed......keep rpm's low and shift 1,3,5

 

[Jamez]

Oh crap your gas is already over $2?! Our 93 is about $1.75 and 87 is about $1.60. I have a feeling this summer is gonna suck

i have gears and alot of other mods and i manage 21-22mph on average city/highway mix in the city i might get 22-23 on the highway like 24 but thats pushing it. i go 300~ before the low fuel light comes on.

 

[CALIstanggt]

wow....mines low, anyone know what the problum could be?

many things can contribute to lower gas mileage. Driving habits, city/highway drive time, adverse tire pressure, and extra weight in the car, oh and let's not forget fuzzy math. There's several others, but they are so insignificant that they don't really matter much.

wow. i only get about 19mpg.

oh wait i have a 5.0 though j/k.


p.s. it's worth it though!!!

If it matters, I get 11 mpg in my Cobra..........so you're doing pretty good

I get 25-29 in my 98 v-6. keep rpms below 2500 and that will help. I put in new sparks, and a k&n filter. i put 5w30 mobile synthetic in as well. and 91-92 premium. just some small things that can help.

 

[lman657]

cheaper insurance

help, my v-6 cost 305 a month i have to have full coverage with the loan i agreed to. any brand or any tips for insurance would help please.

How does that help with gas mileage?

the newer v6's (99+) are supposed to get 20 mpg city and 30 highway. when i first got my stanger, i was getting like 16 or 17 mpg. i was like what the hell? i put in a k&n magnaflow filter and occasionally i put gas treatment and fuel injection cleaner into my tank, which helps. now i get like 19 or 20. a full tank usually gets me about 250 miles, give or take

dont put premium in ur car. = waste of money.

u can only burn so much octane at that, so just get regular

OMG! Thats steep! I pay a little more then that for 3 cars!. Damm I complained about the rate the zing me for my stang. $1450/yr for a non DD as I don't drive my stang to work.
Mustang's are rated a class 1, high theft, high risk car. You guys arn't going to like this little tid bit. We(meaning my wife) just purchased a new people mover aka: minivan. 2004 and its cheaper to insure then my stang, can you say ouch... $35000 2004 Minvan, 1995 Mustang convertible worth what $10000 tops if I'm lucky! Do the math Insurance companys screw us over because the car's a Mustang!
