Is it just me or do all stangs get really crappy gas milage. I only get around 12 mpg city. Is it just my driving, or is it just how they are. The spec's say like 16 of 17 mpg.
i commute 100MI round trip a day for work. 5MI is surface roads and rest is freeway. set cruise and forget it i can get 20-22 on a realy good day. around town it takes a dump on mileage.my dad borrowed it once for a trip to seattle and got 24MPG. i've never been able to duplicate it.
If you drive it like an old lady she'll get a lot better gas mileage. I took my '95 GT for a 1000 mile ride and got over 26 mpg, didn't stand on it once though.
Hasn't happened to me since mind you.
Yea, I drive real conservative and relaxed (like an old lady) most of the time and I get around 20 overall. My friend had a 90 and he got horrible milage too. He never wanted to come see me at school cuase it would cost him so much in gas. His used about twice the gas as mine.
it's that big heavy right foot u got. bet you wear the hell out of your tires too! lighten up a little and the mileage will get better, but if you have to race it from stoplight to stoplight all the time, you're stuck with what you got! bet you got a 5 speed too!
i get about 19-20 highway 16-17 combined with 3:55's & 5spd best car on gas I have
