Changing the fuel filter never hurts. Change the oil & filter if that hasn't been done recently. The air filter too. Also if the spark plugs haven't been changed you may check them. Just a basic tune up makes a world of difference.
Don't expect better than 20mpg mixed driving. I think the best I ever got in my car when it was stock and brand new was 24mpg. If you want gas mileage a V8 wasn't the right choice.
I bought a used 01 GT with about 85k miles on it. Currently I get about 17-18mpg in the city and 20 on the freeway, eventhough its an Automatic I think thats kind of horrible MPG for a mustang since it only has had 40s flows installed and eibach suspension (no gas guzzling mods).
What would you guys recommend doing for improve gas mileage? fuel filter maybe?
Im highly impressed with the mileage I get...... which is always 19mpg or
better on the highway. Most V6's dont get that. I was getting 17 or 18mpg
before I added my x pipe...... then it got even better.
ive gotten 25mpg on the highwaywith stock gears, that is.
Factory rating is 18/23... You're gas mileage isn't that bad.
Cleaning out the throttle body wouldnt hurt either if it has some carbon buildup.
People always say to me how fuel economy must suck in a mustang...but seriously I really just dont care. I love my car. Its a daily driver and sure it goes through some gas, but atleast I can have fun with it. There are MUCH worse things to drive around for fuel economy than a mustang anyway...
4 sure...When I had a 4 banger DD, I never wanted to drive it anyway because it was no fun... gas mileage doesnt bother me much to be honest....
honestly i say use the gas while its still cheap enough to burn like that. the price is only going up from here.
enjoy the true american pony car while its still somewhat economical to do so.
