I'm only getting around 170 miles to the tank in the city, no highway. It's with the 5spd BTW.

Dude that blows! That's right under 11 miles to the gallon. I never checked mine, maybe I should.

Miles to the tank is pretty much useless as a measurement. To get any kind of meaningful data for comparison sake or to track your results, you need to track your miles per gallon. To find this, fill your tank up completely, then divide the miles you've driven by the gallons of gas you've put in the tank, to get your mpg.

I've never driven 100% city miles in any car that I can recall in 25 years of driving, but with mixed city/highway driving in my '01 Bullitt I used to get around 18-20 mpg and with mostly highway driving, like on a trip, I would get 22-24 mpg.

^for me as well

With the Cobra, I usually drive quite....enthusiastically and get 13-14 when I do the math calculating at the pump during refills.

With my 99 GT I used to do 17-18.

Thats normal around town driving. Significant highway usually increases this but 5-7 mpg.

I filled it up all the way and did the math and got 15mpg, with very enthusiastic driving. The problem I had wad my low fuel light would come on when I used about 12 gallons, so I never actually ran more then that. Another question... does it seem to yall that the fuel gauge is off? Like moves a lot. Then slows down? Cause I have filled it up from 1/2 and it only took 4 gallons..

Knight

I have not had any issues like that with only filling 4 gallons from half but the fuel light does turn on very early. Like 12 you are talking about even though the tank holds nearly 16. I think Ford does it based on assumed mileage. since like you 15mpg 4 gallons would only get you 60miles where on a focus they have it go off with 2 gallons left since 30mpg would be around 60miles too. stuff like that. of course I am being very general, but you know what I mean.

Yeah I getcha.

I get around 9 to 12 city and 18 to 20 hwy. Depends on how heavy my foot is. I have gotten as bad as 6 mpg before with cheap gas and a heavy foot

^bow-down to the master! hahahah


My lowest mileage was after a couple hours of rather spirited driving through the mountains (a sporty Infiniti G35 may or may not have been involved, hahaha). 13mpg

I typically get about 18. Doesn't really seem to matter how enthusiastically I drive, it almost always evens out to just about 18.

My car is Vortech Supercharged with a conservative 381 rwhp. I never get under 20 no matter how I drive**. On long mostly highway trips I get 26-27mpg. In mostly city driving I get about 23-24(driving like grandma).

** Open tracking at Barber's, Road Atlanta or Nashville I get about 13-15 mpg.

SVTCobraR315

I average about 17 through a normal week. On the highway I'm looking at 22-23. I also have 3.73s

1999Pony

In the 95 I get about 15mpg combined and in my 99 (which is a V6) I get about 18 combined.

I might have a heavy foot though

Wazzthere

I'm at about 21mpg with my 2000 v6 driving in town, haven't taken a long enough trip to get an accurate highway

Pinoy361

Im at about 20 average with my 87 performance tune. Other mods are cai and borla stingers. I think my worst ever was about 8-10 average but that was on a nice, pleasant night cruisin with friends. Until we hit some twistys on the way to an abandoned runway

Dbranham

96 cobra vert and I get 15 in town driving hard and 26 highway
