Default RE: Gas Mileage

Here is my lengthy documentathread on MPGs, RPMs and 4.10's. The long and short of it is that before my 4.10's I would get 28MPG on a long trip and now I get 26+. Before 4.10's I would expect to get a tiny bit above 22 in city and now I expect to get a tiny bit below 22 in the city. I have found that it depends on the driver so very much. Hope this helps....

my lengthy thread on RPMs and MPGs and GEARS!

Man, I would love to know how anyone gets 20+ mpg in the city. I was getting 17.5 then after my bolt ons, I'm up to 19. Maybe the exhaust will get me to 20. I never drive on the highway, so I have no idea about mileage there.

My daily commute is like 7 miles worth of 10 stoplights going through the hills and gears. Then, I hope on the big road and go 75MPH for like 13 miles or more, then, roar through the parking lot. I think it would take me down a notch or two if I did not have that length of big road both ways each day. Still, my driving style determines my MPG too.

i get anywhere from 16-18 mpg on all city driving, or about 210-230 miles per tank.

Alright, what am I doing wrong?

Bought this '00 GT four weeks ago. I'm getting 13 city, MAYBE 15 highway. Yeah I get up on it, but I'm not Evil Knievel the whole time. I thought it was the 4.10's.
