Gas Mileage

[MagicMustang]

When you guys bought your cars new did they seem to get extremely horrible gas mileage? I'm not even pumpin the **** out of the peddle and my old 88 has to atleast have gotten 8 mpg better than this thing. Mabey when she gets more mile on her she'll do better.

What kind of mileage are we talking about?

 

[MagicMustang]

I'm only getting around 140mile on the first quarter of a tank then around 40 for the rest. I've only been getting around 14 mpg so far. Got 1200 miles on the car.

 

[Qrazy02GT]

Wow, I get in the low 20's and as high as 25mpg regulary, but mine is a stock 02GT. Something sounds wrong there.....You are taking it out of 2nd gear right??

 

[MagicMustang]

Yeah...
I been using the cruise as much as possible too! I'm starting to get a little angry with the damn thing. Might be why the delership let us walk with the deal we got..

 

[GTvert01]

My car isn't a mach1, but it is a vert with 4.10s. I get around 24 on the hwy.

 

[GoBabyVroommm]

I get 300+ on a full tank. I have 1400 miles on it.

I noticed that my mileage wasnt as good when I first got my car, right around 19 on the highway. When it got over 500 miles on it everything went up.

 

[MagicMustang]

I need to go to town and fill it up again to see what i'll get on the next tank...if i don't get anything like i should i'll have my neighbor (owns and delership) do some warranty work,....just don't like this concidering with all the crap i had done to my old car, it still got over 350 miles on its tank. I'm not even getting 250

 

[GregGTStang]

You guys who are getting 300 mpt are saying that's with some highway driving right? I don't see how you can get over 250 around the city in a V8 'Stang. I get around 220, all city driving.

 

[Gray02GT]

I got more then that from day one on my Cobra, you should definately be getting better mileage then me also.

 

[Marks5.0!]

im getting about 18-19 mpg in town

 

[decoy562]

Mine was pretty bad when I first got it, but not that bad. I was getting 18 mpg in mixed driving, but now I'll get 21 mpg.

 

[hotmustang331]

I got 23 MPG with some mixed driving (mainly highway) and that includes punching it 3-4 times LOL.BTW this was with around 500 miles.Now I test drove a 03 mach, and after I hit it a little, and came sround the block (got a little lost so it took round 10 minutes) the gas moved like 1/8-1/4 tank LOL and that was only really standing on it 1 time, so I have a feeling that that 2500 mile mach was a gas hog, glad I did'nt get it now.My suggestion is to NOT nail it at all because those cars just suck it down if you let them.Goodluck

 

[Blakers01GT]

yeah that's messed up, take it and have ford look at that, after a full tank show them log the miles in the trip meter. I have full exhaust, 3:73's, and Im making 21-23 mph consistantly, and I'm no saint on the road.

 

[01GT eibach]

My gas mileage is almost always 20-22 mpg with combined spirited driving.

 

[mrvax]

I'm getting 19.7 mixed...very little highway driving. Tagging it once in a while.

 

[vidmaster]

im getting 18 mpg w/ 22k on the car. I do like 3 0-100 WOT runs per day from a stoplight when I'm bored

 

[VatStang]

I average 19-21 city+highway. Of course, I live in California where we get crappy 91 to other state's 93. K&N and exhaust really makes the mileage go up.

 

[Beau]

i am getting about 220-250 miles per gallon in my cobra..with mixed driving, but then again i cruise at 80-90mph on the freeway and love to get on it around town..i think if i went all highway i'd get close to 300
