i am getting SH*T for gas milage
 

so who here is getting extremely bad gas mileage? im getting about 130-140 per tank mixed highway and street. haha. i dont really have a lead foot but i have my moments every now and then. i think my tune is really really really rich. i guess i will get it dyno tuned when i get the longtubes on sometime in future months. (BTW, 03gtmustang, we need to figure a date to do the transaction. lol)

get it tuned. mines horrible with all the bolt-ons and my mail-order tune isnt adapted for them all.

yes def get a tune...I have similar bolt ons and im in the 220 city range and 280 highway range.

how did you guys create those sig pics with your name and car in it?

yo, please try to not hijack threads. im just warning ya cause some people get really cranky. i will PM you details on how to do it.

sorry bro..didnt mean ta do that...was just admiring that pic of your car

im flattered. and dont worry about it. your new so i can give some leeway. lol. just dont want you to piss off the wrong people. hahahaha :kekekegay:


anyways guys, i will have to see if i can get the data logger figured out and see if i can view the A/F ratio sometime this week. maybe tomorrow.

Been driving the mach mostly and its getting 220ish a tank mixed hwy/city, averaging 17-18 mpg.

The GT has had the same tank of gas since mid december, so lol, can't report anything on it.

i wish i could at least break 180 a tank...but i went from about 240 a tank to 140 a tank, i dont think that the 4.10s would decrease my mileage by 100 miles per tank. lol

Yeah, I wouldn't think it would drop it down that much either. Before the GTs engine blew up, I was getting like 16-17 mpg in city, though I didn't drive it much on the highway cuz of the 4.10s. But I never needed to get on the hwy much either, I live less than 5 miles from where I work.

about 190 a tank


v6..


lol...wtf

My sixer got/ gets good highway mileage I've gotten around 300-310mi/tank. But City, I get around 200ish.. Give or take a few.

I get 200 ish ....I wish I could get 300-350 but that just aint gonna happen

I get 200 miles to a tank if im lucky and its a six, but i only drive to school and back witch is 3 miles lol i could go for 2 weeks but i waste it all on the weekends

I figured I'm getting around 13 miles or so to the gallon on city streets. Highway I roughly get 23-24.

PureStang.....a tune will help a lot. If not then something else is wrong, but it's more than likely in the tune.

My last tank of gas was a mix of 4 gallons of 100 octane and the rest 91 octane and with mix city and highway driving I got 305 miles out of the tank and my drive to work isn't exactly open road...LOTS of traffic. Nornally I get between 230-250 miles out of a tank

I'm wondering if the higher octane helped??

gas mileage???whats that?? :shock2:

i thought MPG was measured from 30 up....hehe:kekekegay:

well...i get around 250+ in the six when it warmer and thats mostly city driving.

I just start to drive the GT daily starting today so i will tell you!

I barely get 200 miles to the tank.

Wtf?

i got a solid 26.5 mpg comin home from college and can get about 23 when i rag on it quite a bit.

i get between 18-23 or so...if i punch it everywhere i'll get 16 or 17, but as for just reg. driving i'll get around 250, give or take a lil bit.. i'll fill up at about 1/4 tank and have 200 on the trip odometer.

When I had my GT it got to the point I was only getting 15 mpg. New plugs and wires brought it back to almost 19. The kicker was it was still running real good.

Oh that was with 3.73's and a auto.

i think we found ourselves a lead foot..hahah

nah, i think it's because the sixers have absolutly no power, we have to use the little bit we got to get us up to speed.:shakeno:
i usually get 220~ per tank. If i baby it i get 280, but i do stop and go short distance city driving 98% of the time, so i think thats alright.

Yeah..if I baby it it takes 10 seconds to get it to 40 and that's not going to happen..this ain't a minivan, lol.

yep definately ain't a minivan, minivans are faster:o hahahah

I'm getting 250 city 320 hwy on 4.10s.definatly think about a tune.

i get about 21-22 on the highway and like 15 in the city

All depends on how you drive. I get anywhere from 14-17mpg in the city depending on how much stop and go I'm doing, and anywhere from 18-25mpg on the highway, depending on if its combo city/highway or just straight highway.

but just about 8 mpg half city half highway. i drive 10 miles to work, 5 city, 5 highway. and i barely go above 3k rpm until i shift, just like i would before the gear install. dunno, longtubes come soon so i will go to a local tuner and get a dyno tune :breakdancesmilie:
