My 05 V6 has about 75,000 miles on it. My girlfriend lives 2 hours and 15 minutes away. I drive down there once a week, sometimes more, to see her. Every time I do, it uses a full tank of gas. I get back home and I'm on E. She just got an 06 V6 Convertible, with 40,000 miles on it. She came down to see me yesterday, and instead of using a half a tank of gas to get here, she used about a quarter of a tank..
That's a pretty significant difference. What could be causing my **** for mileage!?!?!?!
idk try cleaning your maf sensor i get 28mpg out of my 91 gt

i found it humourous how you used a complete variable like the time it takes you to drive somewhere, as opposed to how many miles away it is.
my guess for your problem is that you think your car is a gtspeedracerzoom! and your girlfriend just drives with a lighter right foot.
if you at least told us how long (being that a trip in your car is exactly 2 hours and 15 minutes) it takes her to do the drive, it would tell us a little more.

Well I'm not sure how many miles it is exactly. But it takes her the same amount of time to get here. It's on the turnpike, where the speed limit is 75. I go between 80 and 85, and so does she. I NEVER go WOT anymore with gas as expensive as it is. I stay in as low RPMS as I can. I'm not sure of the exact distance, but it takes us the same amount of time to drive there, both driving conservatively, and she uses WAY less gas. Plus hers is a convertible. Not that it would make a huge difference, but still a little bit of extra weight.
Sell your car and get an SVO. Not only will you get better mileage, with almost zero investment it will be faster too [8D]
I would get rid of this thing in a heartbeat if I could, but I'm pretty far in the hole right now so it's not an option =[ Otherwise I would be driving a Fox for sure!
What is up with my mileage?
