Well, no lol but even when it was it wasn't enough. Maybe 250 miles to a tank 300 if I pushed my luck. Now its gunna be worse with the new motor and having to get gas twice a week is just annoying. No big deal if there's no way, just wanted to make things easier on myself. I love my mustang and fuel mileage is what it is.

Not to high jack the thread, but I'm guessing 200 miles on a full tank (even going into the low fuel light) is rather low? I have 4:10 gears, I also hardly ever go onto the highway. Mainly in town, with some WOT (not in town)

You could look into the 20gallon fuel cell that the Cobra R used....if you have about $2000-$2500 to spend just on a gas tank.... I used to fill up every other day (5.0) till my motor went....now its every 3rd day.... (3.8)...a difference of 20mpg to 27 mpg lol. But I do drive 120 miles a day too....

How much are you driving it that filling up is really an issue?
I do over 120 miles a day in mine 5 or 6 days a week....never bothers me to stop. The other thing to consider is adding all that liquid weight is only going to drop your mpg and mean you'll still need to fill up often.
