Default mpgs in 4.0s

Yesterday I filled up. Gas was $3.75 a gallon and I put 12.317 in my tank. I had 295.9 on the trip odometer and it was mostly city driving with some highway. Doing the math with a calculatorthat comes out to 24.023. Not bad considering my Conversion van only got 13 mpg! The only mod on my stang is dual exhaust.

What are some mileage reports you guys are getting with what mods?

im getting about 24-25with dual exhaust and a cai/tune 92 perfomance with a mix of highway and city driving, you can get even more mpg if you dont run in above 2k rpms and be in 5th gear for crusing around 35-40+, before i got my cai/tune and exhaust i was getting around 28 doing the not above 2k trick wasent a whole lot of fun mind you but it does save some gas

After a few weeks of driving like a grandma, I am now officially getting 27mpg with mixed driving. My average highway mpg is 29-30mpg.

I have duals w/xpipe, cai + tune, and 3.73 gears.

im getting 16.8mpg driving from home to work its only 18 miles a day so ive been riding my bike on good days. mods are duals, cai, and 91 tune. i find that on days that i do alot of driving i get better gas mileage, i guess i should move further away from work.

i stated in an earlier thread that i got 26mpg's using bama's 87 perf tune driving very conservatively on a 100mile highway trip recently which i thought was nice since i got 3.73's now. yesterday i drove about 70miles down to long beach and pulled off 28mpg's driving the same way but using the 91 torq tune! i was VERY surprised and very impressed. i guess the 91 torq is my new traveling tune (only when driving with a feather foot of course ).
