I LOVE my new gas mileage

[70stangcoupe]

Here recently, wallet strains have forced me to lighten my right foot and try to save some money in gas (240 miles per tank sucks!). In my 97 GT with K&N and Flowmasters, I've been getting 300+ miles per tank. I get 70 miles before the needle moves from full! It's beautiful

I feel like a grandpa riding around town in 5th at 45mph, but hey, the saved money is well worth it!

Glad to hear you're having good gas mileage. I wish that kind of mileage was possible in my car, but with the performance mods I have, it's just not possible.

 

[340.29m/s]

When I first got the Mach, I had NO money left to be wasting (I had to pay Taxes and Title)

I drove around all the time like you are.... a complete grandmpa but it did give me some really good gas mileage.

Now that I have a little more money back, if the engine is not over 3k RPM.... it's time to downshift!

I've always got around 500km per tank on my stang, its pretty awsome for a v8, its close to what I've been doing in my old civic siR, except when I step on it then its another story

 

[decoy562]

Yeah, I just filled up today and got over 21 mpg, I'm happy

 

[Turbo92PGT]

I filled up today, supposedly got 20 mpg. I dont believe it. I dont think I must've zero'd the trip meter right when I filled up, I cant remember. I gunned it alot this tank. 240 miles per tank. I would kill to get 300. The 4.10's arent gonna be helpin me though lol

 

[PSCBrenden]

I'm getting about 200 miles per tank..and im driving kinda easy. Is this pretty good?

 

[69fb00GT]

I average about 21...but my best so far on highway was 28.4. That was actually with some around town driving mixed in too...without it..i'm sure i would've hit 29.

my gas milage SUCKS!!!!! I drive 1.5 miles to work and just tool around town no interstate driving. I filled up yesterday and I was on 1/4 tank and at 149 miles. Maybe if I actually did drive it farther it would get better milage, it also doesn't help that I have to let the damn thing warm up before I can drive it because of the longtubes. If the 02 sensors are not warmed up it won't even run.

Currently I only get 175 miles per tank at best.

Hope gas mileage will go up when the car gains some miles.

 

[02_2VStang]

i wish i could see over 230 miles on a tank. just wont happen, price you pay when u start putting mods on your stang .

 

[StngStr]

average 19 mpg now. best on highway was about 26 mpg.

 

[krly79]

I got about 23-25mpg on an 1800 mile round trip and I usually get about 275 miles before I fill up and I usually have just a tad under 1/8th of a tank left.


Best of all...I'm running 4.10's I've also got an O/R H, CAI w/ a K&N, ported and polished upper plenum, flows (which I hate).

 

[FallenPhoenix]

I'm sitting with 180 on the trip meter and 1/4 tank left. I get on it quite a bit though

 

[AirWolf87]

i hear ya... gas milage sux! unfortunately i dont have the self-control to ride around in 5th. I cant help stretching 2nd sometimes...maybe i should go with the setup you did

 

[neoclasiccl]

Not touching boost at all I can barely muster 180 miles a tank

 

[xomegax]

I get about 15mpg mixed driving.. around 200ish a tank, it sucks but hey atleast I have fun driving it.

[JonJon]

[69fb00GT]

that is ridiculous
i think i'm at 170 miles right now, close to E.

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!
