Default Gas Mileage

25.5 mpg city in the city! Two tanks. The Stang is unconscious! I am running the 93 Race Tune with the Demolet CAI and it rocks power wise and gas wise. This must defy a few laws of physics. Can't defy gas prices though. $3.89 / gal at Texaco for Premium. Uneffingbelievable - and still going up. When are the tree huggers going to finally say enough and back the US looking for oil locally? Or building more refineries? Gadzooks!

haha congrads not sure the prices are going to go down anytime soon but at least it will finally force companies to come up with different ways to power a vehicle.

28-30 mph depending on wind conditions with temp above 50F. I drive average 110 miles a day county roads 60mph and slow down for couple small towns to 45mph as I go through.

I've been getting 27mpg so I'm pretty happy with that especially when I see some of these new 4-banger-econo-boxes advertised with about 30mpg like that's something great.

My 97 Civic I traded in on my stang got 41mpg consistantly of course it was mostly highway miles but still. Now that's good gas mileage. I cetainly miss that about that car...NO comparison to my stang ownership though!!!! Lovin' every mile I put on this baby - washed it up really good tonight, ran out of time to wax it though.

lol I get 18-19 mpg in the city... nothing but true stop and go. I swear at times someone is following me and making EVERY light turn red just before I can go through it.

I loaded my 91 race tune yesterday - long story short, I had to put it back to the torque tune because I knew it would be too tempting for me to keep that tune without taking advantage of it!
