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..
hahah actually i did 10500 im stupid im young! 16 my dad did most of the dirtywork abd besides if i did and he s like WELLblablablalabla my dad would be like....you dont need this fast of a car.. get a nissan!
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

yep yep dude go for it. you will get better mpg witha tune, IF you keep you foot out of it LMOA yeah..... exhaust got me significant gains actually. 10500? holy hell you did get a deal!
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
haha yeha thaqt MIGHT be my problem i just drove down to subway and back and tried to get to the speedlimit very slowly and like use the break very little but my avereage was only 17 which is about the same as 16 just plus one :) hehe OH and sonicblue it was a great deal but it had a front end accedent previously but the dude fixed it (who better to fix your mustang then a guy who mods and works on mustangs for a living) but HELL of a deal and great first car :):):):):):))
whosaid this thing is gonna be resold? im planning on keeping this car PERIOD i will get other cars as the years go by but ill never sell this baby its a instant classic...
