THE BEST MPG

johnnyboy1111 · May 7, 2004

The best MPG I ever got was on a 1990 5.0 I could get 33mpg on the highway doing a steady 65...Honest....the best I got on my 1999 4.6 was 24 mpg these were done on long trips ...same drill AC on & windows up steady driving, its the lower # gear ratio that brings up the mpg...the late model's just have that higher #'s. no matter what I have tried 23-24 is the best on the road, I sure wish I could get 100 miles on a 1/4 tank....my guage is also funny like the other guys said and drops quickly after that first 1/4 tank.... But thanks again to that great post on drilling the rivitts out on seats did it and some difference....... Johnny

Yeah, I'm happy if I get 22mpg or better.

30.2 on the last road trip mostly back roads doing 55-65

I was able to get right at 30mpg on a 200 mile trip doing roughly 70mph. The A/C was not on because the weather was just too nice outside. So I figure with the A/C on I would probably get around 29mpg. My car is 98 with the 3.27 gears.

our cars weigh quite a bit more than the 5.0L's did. especially compared to the LX. that plus the gear ratios is the reason for the difference. i've gotten 24.5mpg in my Mustang driving 30/70 city/highway going 75-80mph on the highway with two heavy passengers and the A/C on. and i have an automatic convertible.

I normally get 285-320 miles/ 13.2-13.7 gallons. This puts me anywhere from 21.6-23.4 miles/gallon.
Pretty close to sticker which is unlike Ford in most other aspects lol.

I got 30.92 in my 85' GT once. The same car got 29.97 on a trip to Gufport,MS at 104,000 miles, I went 444 miles on that tank 14.8 gallons!

My 96 got 29 on the highway, when first got it and it had 2.73 gears, no mods, then I did mods and put 3.55s in and got 26, now even more mods and 4.10s and I get 21-22, so I dont bitch, actually I am quite happy with those numbers

I drove to Key West from Tampa and I got about 27 mpg in my 94' with an exhaust leak. The best my 00' has done is 24-25mpg.

WTF are all these threads about MPG and MPtank lately? If you want good mileage, drive a frickin' Honda!

dmsead · May 7, 2004

One time I got 60mpg driving to Dayton and back, all interstate. In my dad's Civic DX.

The best I've gotten from my 02 GT was 26mpg going to Mid-Ohio for the Runoffs last year. I average 20-22mpg. I guess if mileage was my priority, I'd still be driving the Honda.

krly79 · May 8, 2004

I've got 23mpg driving about 1800mile round trip mostly through mountain w/ my; 4.10's THe worst I've gotten is about 9mpg with my camaro.

GoBabyVroommm · May 8, 2004

With the cobra motor i'm making almost 300 mpt. With my 2v i was making about 220 per tank. I have a 373 in my car and i get very good gas in the city. On the highway i get good gas as long as i do speed limit. HEHE
