be easy on your right foot.

B0B · January 15th, 2008, 09:06 PM

seriously though.. pulleys, intake, and exhaust will all improve your mileage.

Leave the stang in the driveway and walk lol

Heres a question to everyone else, did anyone here buy their Mustang for its fuel economy?

mattstang · January 15th, 2008, 09:11 PM

depending on how many miles you got, a general tuneup may help some. and tranny service, rearend service, programmers can help, intake and exhaust like these guys said.

honestly i sort of did. considering the power it makes, and all, it gets great fuel mileage.

i have over 600 horses to the tire, and can get 25MPG on the highway, and around 18-21 in the city.

exhaust, UDP's, and intake will all improve fuel mileage some, but not a whole lot.

mustang2517 · January 15th, 2008, 09:14 PM

no i didnt buy it for the fuel economy but it is a concern cause its fucking expensive as hell so i wanna see what i can do to help that

mustang2517 · January 15th, 2008, 09:15 PM

I did... it's what won the decision between a RX-8 other than the performance...

KingChronic · January 15th, 2008, 09:16 PM

well since its stock you should be running 87 octane through it, that cuts down about $5 on each fill up from 93. and they really dont get that bad of fuel mileage. a auto will be worse than a 5 speed, but other than that, its pretty damn decent considering its a 250HP american car

mustang2517 · January 15th, 2008, 09:17 PM

i think im buyin a bike soon so that will help my wallet it gets 60 mpg's lol

mustang2517 · January 15th, 2008, 09:21 PM

yea its a 5 speed and i dont drive highway that much preety much from school and around im 16 so i dont got that far to go but it seems im always dumping money into it, my buddys got a wrx and we spend about the same on gas we both get 93,so stangs arnt that bad but its still a lot

KingChronic · January 15th, 2008, 09:23 PM

well first off run 87 through it, its made to run 87. running 93 wont gain performance, and cost more $$.

if your driving in the city alot, gears will actually help your mileage. get a set of 4.10's, and call it a day.

Luis_GT · January 15th, 2008, 09:23 PM

How far do you travel... I ussually travel a average of 4 miles in heavy traffic (10 minutes to cross 2 miles) and I put 20 bucks each week... I use 87 octane though.

mustang2517 · January 15th, 2008, 09:29 PM

i found that filling the tank up all the way makes it go slower,if i got with 4.10 will i be shifting all the time to the point where its annoying

no, you wont shift that much more, its not big deal.

gas weighs a little over 8lbs per gallon so a 14.5 gallon tank filled up would weigh around 120LBS. its a general rule that every 100 lbs you add adds .1 to your 1/4 time. so a half tank weighing about 60 lbs, you would really notice no difference between 60, and 120.
