fuel economy
ok so i know being a v8 and all mustangs arent exactly known for excellent gas mileage but i recently filled up my tank and reset my tripometer to figure out how many mpgs i was getting. i got up to just nearly 200 miles before my tank was pretty much empty so i divided 200/15 because i think the stock tank holds 15 gallons of gas (right?). the answer is 13.3 mpg which is pretty bad anything i can do to increase this? i tried driving better too, like downshifting instead of breaking etc.

you should use the amount you pump into the tank and divide by total trip miles = correct way, not by what tank may or may not hold:)
|
the best method is to
fill the tank reset the odometer drive refill now take the miles driven and divide by the gallons used to refill |
My first tank from winter I got 14 but since then I have been getting roughly 17-18mpg. It is still stock but I do beat on it pretty good.
|
I beat mine damn hard and I still get at least 17mpg. Get a good intake, underdrives, and a free flowing exhaust.
|
i get around 20 21 in mine.and my car isnt even running right and only has one oxygen sensor.
|
i use to get 22mpg's on average.
to improve your gas milage, do a tune up, check for codes. and get an ignition box(multiple sparks below 3k rpms, more sparks=more complete burn=more power=less effort to get vehicle moving=better gas milage :D) |
I got 12-16 with my carbed 306 that was backed by a c4 (auto 3 speed) with me beating on it the whole time.
|
I'm getting 23 on the highway with 4:10's and 27" rear tire, if i'm nice to it. 16-17 back and forth to work(around 10 miles each way)
