Default Fuel Mileage

I know I know.... You don't buy one of these cars and bitch about gas mileage....
I was just wondering what you guys are getting.
Also, I was kinda thinking that there might be a programer or something flashed into my car's computer. Anyone know if I could get Ford to reflash it back to stock? Price?
Thanks for the help in advance....

Any reason you want to put it back to stock?

My Mach got a solid 24 mpg (hwy) at 70 mph with 4.10s. I did the fill up, drive x number of miles, fill up again and calculate thing. Not sure what it got with 3.55s, but it was probably more like 26 mpg hwy. My city mileage was really bad due to my right foot, lol. I only got about 150 miles out of a tank around town, but once again... my fault.

Around town I get 18-22 mpg and on the highway I get 25-26 mpg and I'm not stock (Cat-Back and X pipe, CAI & oversized MAF housing, Electric water pump, Intake Spacer, Aluminum flywheel & Tune). Best I ever got was dead stock and that was only just over 27 mpg on the highway. (20 around town dead stock.)

Not sure what the question is but since everyone is mentioning their MPGs, I would get between 27-28(highway) when it was stock when I would baby it, then about 26-27 after 4.10s, but it was harder to stay out of the throttle, then about 24 after basic bolt-ons and tune, but now I can't stay off the throttle for long. LOL!

Wow I only get about 190-200 miles per tank... Kelly blue book says we have a 15.4 gallon tank, I don't know where else to look to find the size? Anyone know? I got 240 on the way to Oregon loaded down(about 600lbs). I drive about 45 miles highway every day and maybe 5-10 in town each day. I'm pretty much stock too, I'm getting jipped.

Man you might wanna get that thing checked with that kind of mileage with mostly hwy driving.....unless you have a heavy foot. 270 should be the bare minimum. It's either 15.4 or 15.7, can't remember...but that's irrelevant. Fill-up, reset trip odometer, drive till almost empty, refill, divide miles by gallons. If you wanna be most accurate (****), pump both times at the exact same pump so it's more likely to stop at the same level! LOL.

Edit: just noticed you have an Accufab, that may have a roll in it too.
