hey guys..im gonna go pick up my first fox this week and i was just wondering what kind of mileage could i get under "normal" driving. it has a few bolt ons..pulleys, throttle body, headers, and 3.73s. i know the gears will make the most difference. a buddy of mine had a fox with 3.73s and got 22-23 in the highway. his was an aod however and the car im getting is a 5 speed... :scratch:

heres a few shots of it why im at it....im getting it for 4k

Looks good. In my 89GT 5 speed i get 18mpg with 2.55 gears in it in the city, not sure about highway, havent done much of it. How many mile son that?

the engine has around 80k on it...it was swapped from a wrecked fox..

Cool, I love those cowl induction hoods and the clear corner reflectors on the front. Good choice, enjoy

Ren 89

Looks like a clean one, interior in good shape yet?

I would expect your mileage to be 17 - 19 mpg in town and 22 - 24 on the highway as long as you don't speed excessively.

Sweet GT, enjoy!!!

thats about what i had in mind "mustang fanatic" i think it would be great to have that out of it. i just got rid of my truck i had because of the awesome 13-14 in the city mileage lol. it was a big truck too..just a reg cab 318 dakota with 3.55s

i checked it as best i could...trying to keep track of my trips since my speedo and odometer is off and i showed a hair under 21 on the highway...i could be off though 5-10 miles on my estimate but it wouldnt make a great deal of difference. i think the culprit is the lack of cats and mils on the o2 sensors might be a factor..

TURBO 05

with 3.73's and a heavy foot i never got more then 10-14 mpg in los angeles heavy traffic
BTW if anyone is interested the fox in my avitar is for sale
