Default New MPG numbers

I get a whopping 22.6MPG on the highway now. I was doing a bit of city driving with that, so it might be a little higher if it was pure highway miles. I've got a vortech, and basically full boltons (except cams and LTs).

Wow, you have some real self control to be able to NOT romp it on a blown GT.

I get 14-17 city, and last time i had 2/3 highway 1/3 city I got 24. I should get better with pure highway

and that is good mpg too... in theory the blower should not effect mpg more than 2 mpg under normal conditions because boost doesn't kick in until you are really on the gas too

good #s

Damn mine is crappy. I've been using my Ford Explorer all week for work and leaving the stang to get her rest. But I filled the tank up one weekend and drove it here and there doing quick short errands. No freeway driving. I always reset the tripmeter when ever I fill up. So far it says 62 miles driven and the tank is already less than a quarter left in it. I didn't even get on it or anything like that.

My gas gauge hardly works. It always reads much less than what is actually in the tank...
