man..i'd be pissed...that is terrible...

unless you set your cruise at 60 mph in second gear...i can't see how it could be that bad!

i just went on a trip last weekend and out of the 3 tanks of fuel i got 25.8, 30.5, 27.6 miles per gallon each.

I'm all stock on a 02 GT 5 speed.

the 30.5 mpg came from flagstaff to page and back to the grand canyon. all at between 5500 and 8500 feet in elevation and running anywhere between 65-80 miles per hour. I was very surprised to break the 30 mpg barrier in this car to say the least.

on a regular tank of around home driving i get between 22.5 and 24 mpg.

I usually get about 200-230 miles per fill-up. Mostly around the 200 mark though. I usually ride up a gear so I don't know why it is so bad. Maybe I need a new fuel filter???

I get around 250 miles a "tank" but I never actually let the tank go dry.

I usually only pump about 11.5 gallons to completely fill it up. I still seem to be getting pretty good gas mileage... guess it's time to mod and put in the 4.10's.
