RE: 18mpg on a stock 5.0
I'm all stock on a 90 Gt Convertible AOD and I get between 20 to 24 mpg in mixed city/highway driving. One person metioned tires, make sure they are inflated properly. Also, did you change tires recently, and particularly did you change tire size? Also, did you clean your throttle body? Did you check the computer for any codes? Wouldn't hurt to try a seafoam treatment for your upper motor and injectors.

I have no cats same size tires a new k&n air filter I use the same gas and when I ran the car on the 3m professonal injector cleaner it was supposed to clean the intake an valves. Like I said I didnt change any thing and the fuel miliage went from 23.5 one week to 18 the next and after doing all the work I have done it is still 18.
