Default RE: Miles per Tank

I was actually wondering the same thing about mileage. I just got my 04 (reg ol' V6, not GT or anything special) back in January. I know you get better gas mileage when it's all freeway and no traffic and the most I've gotten out of a tank is around 250. It's my daily driver and commuting in traffic constantly, I generally get about 200. I figure I'll get the oil changed and the filters changed out and swap out the spark plugs for some new ones...see what happens then.

I got 430 one time going to SC last spring break and I have no idea how I did it! The CAI really helps out, I believe. Also, I rode with high PSI in my tires and with the windows up and the ac on very randomly. Once I put my new rims on, my mileage went down.

Normally, I get around 330 or so before the gas light comes on.

With my 93 performance tune, I get around 270-280.


Looks like its time for some SEAFOAM for you guys that need help!

right now Im sitting on little under 1/4 tank and Im at 310 miles. Ive never taken my car below 1/4 tank but I want to clean out some of the older gas and see how far I can go on a tank.

my GT is killing me in gas right now with my procharged v6 down with a blown rear.

the v6 usually gets 320miles/tank mostly highway but still combined. my stock 99 GT vert is getting a whopping 240miles/tank on the same drive. anybody that says the 4.6 gets as good mileage as the 3.8 needs shot
lucky i get 210 tops thats the most ive ever gotten

If i'm driving mostly city I get 230-240 per tank with fuel light on for miles.
Highway driving is crazy, I get around 330-340 per tank easy.

BBK CAI
True dual Ford Racing exhaust
OEM plugs done on time
Etc.
