Hope Mills? I'm near Buies Creek We should figure out when a local event is held and introduce ourselves.

Hey, True Blue Performance is in Angier http://www.trueblueperformance.com/ I visited this place during lunch one day last week...nice guys, nice shop!

And these guys are in Benson http://www.dunnbensondragstrip.com/ OOPS that's the strip

I meant this shop in Benson: http://www.fastlanemotorsports.us/UN....asp?newsid=24

What's the shop in Raleigh??

I bought my Xcal2 online, and have been experiencing "challenges" with getting new tunes to fix my issues. Should have bought locally (but didn't find out about the guys above until after I ordered my unit, always the way, huh?)

To stay on topic with my V6 automatic I get about 20-21 MPG running around with normal mixed/rural driving. On one 100 mile trip I got about 28 using cruise with very few lights/stops!

My first tank of fuel went pretty fast. New engines always burn more fuel until they have worn in. Just to settle an argument with a friend I tested my GT to see what sort of mileage I could get out of my GT for a full tank. It was very difficult to keep my foot out of it for an entire tank! I set the cruise to 70 mph and drove to another city and back. This trip included some city driving as well. Averaged 26 miles per gallon. That's US gallons. It worked out to 32 imperial miles per gallon. I converted all of this to US numbers as most people reading this are probably Americans. At any rate, I was very happy with this. These are numbers which are right in line with what Ford claims. Not that I bought my GT for it's fuel economy but I was pretty happy.

I have the GT. I've noticed some pretty exciting numbers, in the "good" way, and the "bad" way on the Computer MPG thing.

Overall, all driving, not a daily driver, aggressive in the Santa Cruz Mountains, loving to hear the engine rev and wind, and semi-attempting getting good MPG on the Hwy, I get 17 MPG. That is over many tanks of gas. I keep all records in Quicken, and every time I fill up I record both Gallons purchased and miles on the Odometer.

Check your "Gallons Used" readout. If I "zero" mine before starting up after fill up, the next time I fill up the gas pump and the "Gallons Used" numbers are really close, I'd say usually with in .2 gallons of each other consistently.

I have 2000 on mine and on day two of having it I drove from the bay area to San Diego. I avg about 25 with cruise set at 75-80. Now that I do a lot of in town I'm getting like 16 or so. Granted I do have a lead foot, but who doesn't with this car. If there are any suggestions let me know.

When I picked up my 2006 GT I drove it over 800 miles and averaged over 25mpg on the highway, now with city driving averaging probably around 19 - 21 Mpg no complaints at all Looks, Performance, and decent gas mileage what more can you ask for.

I have the V6 & get less than 200 miles per tank. I do mostly city driving,but come on the V8 is getting better mileage? I have tried driving with slow accels & decels but no difference. I can get around 275 miles/tank if all freeway driving (avg speed 80mph) I will be taking her in soon for some other complaints and will mention.

Hambone

Woah--that's pretty bad mileage. I just got 200 miles on a little more than half a tank! Even with romping on it some, I'm getting 20-22. Again, that's rural driving (few stoplights).

I would definately ask them to check it out. Wonder if there is something going on with some of the V6's??? There are enough complaints of this that I'd investigate...
