If ya'll remember, I posted a few times about how good the MPG was on my GT. I was averaging about 21 MPG before the oil change(about 400 miles ago). Now that I feel the engine is broken-in...I JUST CAN'T KEEP MY RIGHT FOOT OUT OF IT!!!

I'm gonna get a ticket real soon here...."Hello, my name is Doug: and I'm an accelleraholic. I CAN"T HELP IT!!!!" :dance:

I'm averaging in the 14MPG range now

 

:nono: :cop:

 

lol

 

So that's my problem!! I, too, only get about 14 mpg around town. On the highway, it zooms up to 23 mpg. Sounds like we need a tune.

 

Made me look.....

 

Ive only had my car a few days....slowly breaking it in whether its required or not. The owners manual said drive after different speeds for the first 1000 miles. So I am doing that, but I have a heavy foot anyways so the gas just keeps flowing.

 

Ya...I figured just owning it would be bad for gas mileage.

 

i cant remeber any of my mustangs (5.0)getting better then 10-13 mph, so i will be happy if my 05 gets 14 :-)

 

Yeah, my last V8 (the '69) averaged 10-12 mile per gallon. No A/C either (boy that was a delight in the summer).

So 14mpg with a heavy foot is still a step up. Gotta burn hydrocarbs if you wanna go fast!
