Ouch, you must be enjoying it though

Since I got my V6 on Saturday I have 23 posted on my info read out.....prlly 70/30 split on primarily highways.

On a second notee, anyone here got a gauge on how accurate that info read out is? This is my first car with this feature and I have heard they are generous in stating your mpg compared to actual.

im not a lead foot! im a great driver never too fast! (with one exception when i had to just test it out but the limiter stopped me at 113 or so) i dont knwo i bought the salvaged from this dude who mods mustangs for a living but i dont think he did much to it because he never works on v6's it was for his girlfriend but she broke up with him so he sold it

maybe he did some crazy mod? i dont htink so... could there be aproblem with my car..

I get about 19 City and 24-29 Hwy, depending on lead foot passing, with the 17" wheels on. With the 16" Stock wheels my best was 32.2 Hwy. I have Fred @ Evolutions 93 Octane tune in now, and although I have worse lead foot now (it is to much fun) I still get 19-20 City and I just got 24.7 on a 200 miles trip, with the 1st 1/4 tank City driving. Trip meter said 282.4 and I still had about 1/8 tank or so

Personally when I first got my stang my gas milage was low. which I think most everyone will agree with. That doesnt neccesarly mean that you are speading either it just means that you get up to the speed limit quickly. So if you are getting on it when you take off that is definitely your problem. I know that is what kills my fuel economy not speeding
