How do you get 12mpg?

12 mpg makes me happy Ive got a daily driver. Id go broke driving my Mustang daily.

All I had was an Edelbrock Performer intake and headers for any performance stuff. Everything else was stock for the most part.
The car runs fine with no codes or CEL. (Ive checked for them and fixed the problems).
Maybe its because I dont drive it like a little old lady?

the only thing i can think of is that it in our fox bodies it sounds like you are riding in a big styrafoam cooler with the hatch going crazy on every bump. Also the exhaust fumes pretty much do whatever they want.

If you're getting 12mpg with the mods in your signature then something is seriously wrong or you're not calculating your mpg right. You also say "damn 4.10's" but then your signature says you have 3.73's. Which is it? Your gas mileage should be worse in the city too.
