MPG check

USMCrebel · 03-13-2008, 12:38 PM

well time for your check up,

i put 4 gal in the stang and i made it 103 miles before i filled it again, so 103/4 =25.75 mpg in city, not to shabby

Well I am getting about 19 mpg in the city. Kinda burns a hole in the pocket, but she is just so fun to drive.

im not complaining though i would NEVER trade my mach for anything i love her to death and spending 200 dollars on gas is well worth it

IN april ill have interstate mpg

USMCrebel · 03-13-2008, 02:36 PM

i got to thinkin, i didnt run my car empty inbetween gassings, so the MPG is actually a little lower, probably around 22-23mpg

24mpg for me on the interstate with 4.10s. I double checked it again on a road trip a few weeks ago. I average 20 miles per gallon, so prolly 16 city. I drive fairly easy 90% of the time and like a bat outta hell the other 10%, per tank that is. I usually shift around 2500-3k.

Don't worry about running it low like that. Just fill it up until the gas pump clicks off. Reset your trip odometer at that time. Drive 50 or 100 miles. Then go back to the gas station and fill it back up until the pump clicks off again. Divide the miles on you odometer by the gallons on the pump. Wa-la!

That's the only accurate way to get mpg
