btw I don't even get that with stock gearing I can usually barely squeeze out 300. about 23mpg
get your foot out of it a little bit more. its EXTREMELY difficult for me to get 300 to a tank(my fault not the cars) i have to go 60 on the highway, and pull away from light like a turtle.

Before I get flamed, my DD is a 46,000 Kilometre Nissan Sentra GXE and I have a 50L tank and have NEVER travelled more than 500kms on a tank. You guy's are getting 500 "MILES" per tank? How so?
Well thats funny... Because 500kms =310 Miles..........

I am a private investigator and spend most of my time driving. Today i had to take my stang on survaillence because my usual car had been seen too many times. This rarely happens, but is a mild inconvience. Well today i did 10 hours of survaillence
Your stang has been seen alot more times now.
If you spend most of your time driving, that must mean it's like a rolling surveillance.
When you write reports for your client and tell them youdid 10 hours of surveillance,you might want to spell surveillance correctly.[sm=Flahssssss.gif] I won't even mention inconvenience

Well this is just a fun little fact. I am a private investigator and spend most of my time driving. Today i had to take my stang on survaillence because my usual car had been seen too many times. This rarely happens, but is a mild inconvience. Well today i did 10 hours of survaillence and well over 300 miles on a single tank of gas roughly (340-360). With 4.10 gears no less. Just wanted to see what people thought about this.
Good deal on the mileage!

But you need to resize your sig pic to fit the rules. 500x250

Yeah, spell check is a beautiful thing. And the surveillance was far from where i drive my car daily.

That's my problem, the car is only a fun car so I drive it like I stole it ever time. So I get pretty crappy mileage. That's ok though, that's not why I bought the car.

on my old motor w/ 4.10's I took a trip to florida and got 24mpg, with the new motor I can get 22.86mpg on the interstate w/ 4.10's. City driving sucks for me though.
