Yet another gas mileage ????

[madmatt]

I actually went 243.1 miles on my last tank, and that was before the light came on. Now, this is a mix of city/highway, but mostly city. I was stoked. 20 mpg baby.

It's interesting how a year ago, a thread like this would have had responses like, you don't buy a mustang for the gas mileage, drive it like you stole it, etc.

Also for better mileage, make sure your tire pressure is correct.

260 - 270 here mostly highway driving.

Tips for getting better gas mileage:

1. Quit flooring it down every straight away you reach.

Then, why even own a 'stang?

To everyone who has replied, thank you.

I was just really curious as I have seen a few posts of people stating they are getting 300 + miles on a tank and thought that maybe something might be wrong with my GT.

I did not buy this car for its MPG factor and driving like I did for my little mileage test sucked, but with these outrages gas prices, I just had to ask.....

Again thanks,
David.

If you are worried about gas mileage then you should have bought a Metro.

Sure a Mustang is not a gas saver car. But when someone gets 25mpg and you get 15mpg, that makes you wonder what's wrong with your car.

Up to 400+ per tank. I averaged around 280. With looooong trips, all highway, and driving like a granny, you can see some impressive mpg figures. Best I saw was 31.2 at moderate temperatures and with no wind. City driving, the best I averaged was probably around 260.

I used to get 240 until I put my prochamber on then I started getting 190-205... took it off and I started getting 215-220. It was all mixed highway and city.

That was with the 2v... now with my 4v'er... I dont try let it go past half because gas is expensive especially for premium

It does however feel like it gets a little better gas mileage than my GT, especially if I granny shift. But thats not always fun
