You don't hammer the gas pedal enough.

In town with 4.30 gears I get anywhere from 19-26mpg depending on how I drive. Even with tanks that I've gotte 24+ MPG I had 5-6 hard runs. Shifting at the right RPM's, no engine braking and getting in 5th gear helps a lot.

Still new to mustang...so I figured when I got it an drove it an got 14 miles a gallon that was normal. However, after reading a post on the MPG after replacing gears an he got 26 MPG I was wondering what the heck? Something up with my car that I don't know about?

MODS - Flomaster exhaust, K & N Cool Air Intake, Hypertech chip

Someone help me....I just put in octane booster, fuel system cleaner an fuel injector/carb cleaner so we will see how it goes now...but any help will be appreciated

thanks

brad

BTW, never use octane booster on your NA car. No need for it, it'll only hurt performance.

Oops did I forget to mention I live in Canada? Our gallon is a bit bigger than yours lol. So, 27mpg for a Canadian imperial gallon is about 22.5 mpg for a US gallon. Kinda a big difference eh?
