I have a 2001 Mustang GT, nothing too major as for mods. The typical Aftermarket exhaust, 93 tune, and Cold air intake. For a full gas tank, I only get 130 miles on my trip. What can I do to make it better?

Drive like a grandma.

I think that is impossible for me lol

Change the fuel filter if you haven't. Make sure maintenance is up to date such as spark plugs, oil, etc. Use cruise control. Buy a 4 cylinder.

Ok thank you. I think I would rather drive like a grandma instead of a 4 cylinder. I would blow it up driving out of my driveway lol

lol I just bought a chevy cobalt 2.2L I got a killer deal on it so I'm just going to resell it. In the mean time, I've been driving it. Put $15 of gas in and it filled it up half way. haha Got almost 150 miles out of $15. If you're looking to save gas, I wouldn't have bought a v8. Especially the 4.6s as they are gas guzzlers.

If you set the speed like say 65mph and leave it alone you should get 20 miles to the gallon as I do that with my auto and 4:56 gears ..

I am getting 23 mpg average right now 2004 4.6 GT. Have only had it for 3 weeks but driven almost 1500 miles.

Drive mostly city, I'd say 70/30 city/highway. Traffic around here averages around 75-80 on the interstate.

I need to recalculate my milage I think. I drove almost all hwy and I get about 25 to 26. But i set my cruise at 75. I have an 01 gt vert
