Lowest I have gotten is 18, highest is 27. I have hit 26-27 several times. Try keeping the car between 2300 and 2700 RPM's because that is where it is most efficient. Since I started watching that, I went from 18 to 20+.

Best I got pre-KB was 27 mpg, 100% highway. I averaged 18-20 mpg mixed.

Post-KB, best I got was 22 mpg, 100% highway. If I drive nothing but city, bat-out-of-hell style (the usual), I get about 8 mpg. As I said in another thread, my right foot is a wasteful son of a bitch. What can I say.

Does shoot up to 16+ if I manage at least 80 highway miles on that tank. Stock 3.27's, and a Viper T-56.

I normally get 19-20 MPG with mostly highway driving. I've gotten as high as 22.5 but I don't always check my mileage. I think the lowest I've ever gotten was 18. If I could keep that right foot from reaching the floor so much I could posibly do better.

Ive been getting a little over 21 mpg consistantly with normal weekly driving.
I try to pick up grocieries or other things on the way home from work instead
of going home and then going back out again. I have been cutting back on just
pure cruising around for the fun of it......

You want to think your selves lucky as here in the UK, gas is about $10 a gallon and diesel is about $12, so it costs me about $120 to fill my 70 Mach1 up

i average 18-21 50/50 mix, seems like the a/c use is hurting me lately and the gas by me now has an e-10 blend which is also not supposed to help gas mileage

dang man yea i was having a discussion with someone the other day about the gas prices and i said we are very lucky compared to the UK where its around 10 a gallon i wasnt 100% on that number but now i know and man thats crazy. Might as well start buying race fuel all the time if it gets that high lol

I finally fixed my O2s and my mileage is up. I got 20mpg with 80% city driving last tank. To me, this is amazing because I live 3.5 miles from work, and short trips on a cold engine will kill mileage. I'm kinda looking forward to seeing my highway mileage this weekend, since I made some other small changes to increase the mileage. (increased pressure in the tires and removed anything that wasn't tied down). Last summer, I got 26mpg a few times, we'll see if I can top that.

Payed $1.349 a liter which is $5.10 a gallon for 87 octane last night cost $72 to fill my tank up here north of the 49th parallel. I have no real reason for running 91 in the stang but in my uncles vette it cost him $1.44 a liter thats $5.45 a gallon.

As for milage I regularly hit about 20 in the city if i keep off of it and around 32 on the highway I guess the 2.73's are good for something.

I think its time for me to get a bike and save a little coin on gas.
