Best Gas Mileage?

stangstrip · June 4th, 2008, 11:29 PM

what is the best gas mileage you guys are getting if you baby your car around the block?

stangstrip · June 4th, 2008, 11:30 PM

i get 20. anyone do better? i need to know this

PowerShiftz02GT · June 4th, 2008, 11:31 PM

i got 245 once the fuel light comes on out of one tank. i think i can do better if i tried.

zinc02GT · June 4th, 2008, 11:32 PM

highway im getting like 25, city i get about 17...

I can squeeze even more if i come acorss downhill areas. just pop it into neutral and coast it. I find myself doing that ALOT more. Plus I try to not downshift. Only when truley needed...

on a gas tank with 100 miles of city driving (about 1/2 tank) and going down to 1/8 of a tank left I had about 290 miles on the tank.

I filled it up half way for reassureance on the way home from the beach and im now at 380 miles on the tank + 3/8 with 1/4 left

stangstrip · June 4th, 2008, 11:33 PM

ok what do you guys get to the TANK. and what does the gas pump say it took. i guess I have 15 gallons. because the gas meter stops at 14.65

BakerFX4 · June 4th, 2008, 11:33 PM

I get 15-17 mpg, depending on how I drive through the streets.
I get 22-25 highway.

On the tank I believe I get 320 miles.

Go to Citgo! they dont use ethanol!!! might cost more, but definately lasts longer. Worth the extra measly .05 for sure!!!!

HBK_2007 · June 5th, 2008, 01:35 AM

i got 22 last time i checked, 15 min highway (65 mph, no cruise control and lots of hills) and 5 mins in town (30 mph, letting it auto shift) every day. now that i have my cruise working im hoping for like 24 or 25

03BMstang · June 5th, 2008, 03:25 AM

well guys you know you could always turn your stang into a hydrogen hybrid, theres stuff about em online, all you need is a small container and a conductor to turn the hydrogen in the water into a gas to get sucked into the intake for maximum burn friend of mine made one for an F250 that got 14.3 mpg, after a couple days it maxed out to 25.7 mpg so id say thats pretty decent for a truck like that, and only spending $30 and some change. my cars next hehe oh and you only have to replace the water once every six months

buy gas from the country that hate us so much Venezuela?

NAHHHHHHHHH.

Eagle2000GT · June 5th, 2008, 02:19 PM

I get 22 mpg combined city/mostly highway driving. If I were to run the tank low enough to put 14.65 gallons in it, I would have gone 322.3 miles.
