Default Gas mileage

Hey guys, I was just wondering what kind of gas mileage your mustang gets, please tell the year and model and any mods you have done to your car, I´m just really curious because I just read a thread about the fuel gauge and a lot of people seem to be getting 200 miles from 100% full until the low fuel light comes on.

I will start, 2000 GT with JLT CAI, Accufab TB and plenum, typhoon intake manifold, stage 2 comp cams, steeda underdrive pullies, BBK long tubes, BBK xpipe, magnaflow 40 series, 4.10 gears, and I always pump 93 octane. I get 230 miles to the tank. About 100 miles of those 230 are high way.

"Miles per tank" doesn't mean anything--how many gallons does it take to refill the tank after you have travelled 230 miles?

I get 21.5 regular as clockwork, driving 80 miles or so a dat with 25 miles in town, and the rest on I-95...

See...when I feel like saving gas I try to shift at 2500 but thats a very hard thing for me to do

And I said to the tank because I never really have done the math to get how many miles to the gallon I get, I never remember how many galons of gas I pumped last time.

I got about 16mg last time I checked. I know that is not very good, but unfortunately I spend a lot of time just sitting on the interstate.

Mods:
Flowmaster 1 chamber race mufflers
UPR offroad X
DeMolet Tunable Induction
VMP Tuning


I get around 16-18mpg in the city, but just took a road trip to VA yesterday and averaged 28mpg for the trip. That was cruising the entire way, cruise control set on 70-75mph.

Still nowhere as accurate as doing the math yourself.
