Hi guys I know most of you may have some insite into this

I was seeing what can be done to INCREASE GAS MILEAGE for the mustang? I was told by a few people that installing the K&N Intake help
gas mileage? Is this ture? What other things have you guys done or seen?

I see then sellnig this thing on e-bay? But I just don't see how it would work and if so not better then a intake right?

I would like to hear what you guys have to say.

Thanks.

 

More air & more exhaust with the proper tune will improve your performace and mileage!!

 

Intake + tune, in combination, will increase your gas mileage (and performance).

That eBay listing is a scam. It will do nothing.

 

I agree intake and tune. I saw a 1-2 mpg increase after installing intake and tune.

 

DON'T BUY GIMMICS!!

Install a low restriction Cold Air Kit w/K@N filter, Underdrive Pullies, Low restriction exhaust, custom tune dyno tune(Bama Chips),change all fluids to synthetic and you will get better gas mileage!

 

blah ....shift at 1700 rpms and stay at or under 65mph on the hwy.
i do this and got 30mpg last weekend. btw i do this round town and get 19mpg.


all i m trying to say is....don t drive it like a mustang,and u will get decent mileage.will filters and syn oil hep? yes but u will want to romp on the pedal more too.

 

Setting my cruise to 70mph from 75mph brought mine up...

you bought a mustang not a prius guys! haha now go chase down a black charger and make yourself feel better.


another gas saving tip that i thought about was, if you have a manual,throw it into neutral if your coming up to a stop sin or red light and just let it coast.

 

Whats the best intake / tune set up to buy for this? I have seen a few set ups they look to run $500-$700 for the pair?

Mine is a v6 i HAVE PUT THE 2 gt tock mufflers on so that should help I would
think? then pair it up with the intake and tune ?

Thanks for your guys insite.

 

with a little searching you will find that you cant go wrong using
www.bamachips.com
www.brenspeed.com
www.tillmanspeed.com
or www.modulardepot.com they just released a CAI in the past week as well.
a majority of this board use one of the names I listed as far as mail order CAI/tunes.
there are many threads on "who is the best" I wont even get into that, you can research that on your own.
you can do some searching and find a local shop that dyno tunes also, and buy your CAI through them or however you want.

 

For you guys who have the message center (my deluxe doesn't) and manuals - does the computer display better mileage at 30-35 mph in high third or low fourth ?

 

In my car the sweet spot seems to be about 1800 rpm's. Best mpg is at about 60 mph.
