Just to see what kind of MPG everyone is getting. List your gear ratio as well. I'll start off- 3.73's and 20-21 mpg

I just did a 1000 mile drive to the east coast and averaged 23.0 mpg doing roughly 70mph average and I have 3.73 gears. And all this with a small vaccum leak. I'm gonna try to fix the leak and see if I get even better mileage on the trip back home

Last tank, 16 mpg.
All my driving was "in town" driving, so no highway time to run it up.
4.10 gears and the stuff in sig

Usually 12-14 about 50/50 city/highway. I can probably get over 16-17 if I keep my foot out of it and drive mostly on the highway. That's with 3.73's and TKO 600 trans(.64 OD).

Best I got was 27mpg highway after my fox intake swap. That's with the stock 2.73 gears tho (which aren't exactly lots of fun)

Same here, with the rich issue. I think it may be my ECT sensor.

It's my best guess since my fan speeds are all out of whack, as well. The fan won't come on until it is waaay past the temp it's supposed to start at, meaning I have to use the AC to keep the car cool (fan on all the time). It's not throwing a code, but that has not been too reliable a way to diagnose problems for me. I've heard that they can mess with the A/F ratio if they get out of spec.

my car was getting 20mpg, road/highway mix. This was before my twin turbo's but, That was with 280/310rwtq . I had 3:73;s, gt40p heads/crane 2031 cam/explorer intake.
Actually, i still have the exact same combo, but now with a twin turbo setup......i bet it actually dosent do much worse if i stay out of it....im gonna try and see.....but i cant stay out of boost!
