2001 V6... Gas!Because I had a 98 GT and that thing always would get at least 250 the bare minimum when I went faster at times but at most 300. So why does a 2001 v6 get less than a v8 which was made 3 years earlier. So please help someone, tell me if i'm going crazy. ![]() Only thing I could think is that the tank is just like 4 gallons smaller or something, idk though I can't find the 98 tank size vs. a 2001 tank size. Thanx though for the help guys. |

same size tank... your car just isn't properly maintained like your GT was...
You need to clean it up and it will run like it should... clean all the sensors and you will see a great improvement in milage

also be sure to clean the throttle body too, my uncle had a chebby pickup that wouldn't run right.. cleaned the tb and whadda ya know!! Also make sure you change the oil with the proper weight and viscosity. Also wouldn't hurt to check out teh air filter while your at it..

before i did my mods i got around 250 too. Are these city miles or highway? If it is city then it should be normal.

clean the sensors, t.b, change fuel filter, run some fuel system cleaner and check your air filter
