Reason i ask is because i get about 205 miles to almost a full tank with the AC on and about 216 with it off and thats going pretty easy on the pedal...
Is this right????

Im serious i dont, i shift at about 2k every time and i never punch it. Would my mods be doing this??? i dont see why.
Ive been wondering lately if i should take it in and have it checked out.
well before i started putting mods on her she was getting like 240-290 per tank (91 octane) depending on hwy vs. street and no a/c. your 205 sounds a little low to me. but the way i look at it, more air, means that your computer should put more fuel in I.E. worse mileage? not sure if thats right. i dunno that much about the ECC-IV's or what ever it is that we have. But it looks like all you have for more air is that FIPK.
as far as the fuel tank. when i drive around with the low fuel light on for like 15 miles i go for a fill up and the most i can put is high 13-14 gal. i dont have my owners manual any more (long story).
also since my mods, i get about 190-260 street- freeway with the a/c on a little bit, not all the time though.

My '04 just went past 210 and I just read it slightly past half ==> I'll get 330 on this tank....

I wonder why it varies so much.
I can whip the **** out of mine and still get 20mpg easily. I get 26 on the highway and have had as good as 28. All on 87 octane.

Yup. I'm with you guys. Once I hit just under 200, the "hey a$$hole" light dings on. But then when I go to fill up, I only fill 13 gallons. So it ususally equals 16mpg.
I'm thinking of getting a tune up in hopes to correct this. Maybe a faulty seal or something?

Well i just got off the phone with the local ford dealership and he is saying that i should have my fuel filter changed and it would fix the gas consumption issue....
The car only has 13K miles on it does that sound right???...

Idk, mine is an 00 with 23k miles on it. Excuse my ignorance, but is the intake filter the same as the fuel filter?

Oh no, they're two different things. And they're pretty self-explanatory.AmBo said:
Fuel filters aren't supposed to get dirty until 20-25k, unless it's seen crappy gas all its life..

I get better mileage than that and I got 4.10's. heck I got better than that with a night at the track too. Also so far I've knocked down my best MPG shifting at 2500rpm. Now GIt-it you gotta tell us how you knock down that kinda MPG.

My god, so where can I pick up a new fuel filter and I'm assuming it's just a simple drop in, right?
Ok i just checked my owners manual and scheduled maintance manual and at both the 10k and 15k service it does NOT state to have my fuel filter replaced...
I guess the guy up at the dealership was blowing smoke up my a$$.

My 6 yr old 1999 56000+ mile GT gets 10-21 in town and 25-26 on the highway...and has never been tuned up.
