i get about 190 a tank all city. and thats with no 4th gear...I think something wrong with my car

im lucky to get that. i think its because i mainly drive to school and back, but thats only about 2 miles round trip, so my engine never gets warm. i feel like thats the reason my milage is soo bad. anyone agree?

Yeah I agree fully. I hate getting in my car and starting it up (especially now that its cooler) just to run to the store or a buddy's house. Work and school are a good drive from my house so thats not too bad.

RE: Gas mileage help

When I lived a mile from work, I'd just take the long way home to warm up the engine completely. You don't necessarily have to do this everyday, but you should do it often, especially if you live in a high humidity area.

really?? I am in the same boat as him. It takes me at most 4 minutes to get to school since its only like 2 miles away. Would driving it hard after it warms up help anything? or maybe I should start taking the long way?

the guy that says hes had 366 on a full tank most likely drives like a grandma..and in that case why own a mustang ?

it was a two way 150 mile trip on the interstate, the i did a little city driving after it and pumped out 360 as a total. Yes i did drive like a grandma for those two days. Its just to show you can get good MPG when you NEED IT and you can also have power when you WANT IT
