Default 2000 V6 Mustang runs sluggishl



<FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">I have a 2000 V6 Mustang, but it runs poorly. It looked to me as if the car's missing it's morning coffee. Acceleration is somewhat slow. I don't know exactly what's wrong with the car. Maybe a clogged fuel filter or something like that. I noticed the gas milage with mostly highway driving and with A/C and CD on, it about 23 miles to a gallon. I'm driving in Wisconsin, the land's mostly flat. Now, is that normal? gas milage seems a bit low to me. </FONT></P>

the gas should be like 30 mpg, and it should be reasonably quick, if its a hardtop stick anyway. The auto v6ers stink.

My V6 is automatic. But still, what I got for my gas milage is still too far off from the 30 mpg you've mentioned. Do you get 30 on highway driving with CD and AC on?My engine is probably running too rich. </P>

GOD I'm such a frikkin blonde...</P>


Anyway, do you have gears? Thats the only thingI could think of (yeah, me think, uh-huh) that could cause this problem. but then again, I'm not the most qualified person to answer tech questions.</P>
