Well, gassed up today from it being just above the E and I got 220 miles out of the last full tank. Not bad.

Arin being happy about anything is often not a good sign... What did you do now?

Haha, I should take a picture and write this in my log of times Arin has been happy for me... think half a sheet of binder paper will do to make the list for the rest of forever?

I estimate around the same with my 1992 5.0 LX w/auto. You'd think there would be some marked improvement in mileage by then.
- Did you give the SN95 a basic tune up: fresh plugs, wires, distributor cap/rotor, and the various filters? It may help increase your mileage a bit.

The Fox is lighter and has less hp. So take a more powerful engine, heavyer car and same milegae. I say they did pretty good!
Oh and just so you know, the 4.6 doesn't use a distributor.

Thats the exact pic I have opened up lol.
Yeah thats true, they could be coil packs, but I'm not sure.
I do know that the Bullitt has noting of the sort, and I'm sure your GT didn't either.

My car was plenty fresh, the car was only 2 years old when i got it with 26k on the clock, used to trap 99mph completely stock, which isn't bad for a new edge.

And yes, those are the dual coil packs on the '96-'98's. I thought the '99-present 4.6 SOHC/DOHC V8s used coil on plug ignition.

It has new plugs/wires/distributer cap/rotor. It's getting high teens now or 20 mpg at its best. I may have had too much of a lead foot the first tank.

My wishful thinking list....
DSG paint.
Cobra R hood (00).
Either Cobra R (00) or Ford GT style wheels.
Cobra front bumper.
Cobra R style side exhaust (Borla's)
I don't know what wing I want.
Roll cage (6 point).
Bullitt suspension bits (get to it Arin.)
Cobra/Bullitt/Mach1 brakes.
AFR heads.
GT40 tubular upper/lower intake.
Shorty headers.
Good Cam (Steeda #19?)
That's all I can think of right now. Feel free to add more as you deem fit.
