hey i got a 2000 v6 completely stock and it eats through gas and i have no idea why a full tank lasts me like a day and a half of normal drivin to school and work which are both fairly close to my house and i also drive around with my freinds but not for miles i dont get it anyone got some advice

PUNCTUATION!!!!!!!!! a tank of gas should last you a lot longer than that. i go weeks on mine. problem is a lead foot maybe?

What kinda mileage are you gettin before you have to fill up? Are most of your miles city miles or highway? My car stock with an auto was givin me an average of 250 miles before the fuel light would come on....just to give you an idea. Has the engine light come on at all? if yur burning up fuel yur either drivin your car hard....or your car is running rich, and you prolly have a bad O2 sensor somewhere.

new air filter, clean your fuel injectors, new fuel filter, and new o2 sensors if it is that bad. also what year is the car any check engine lights?

thats hard to say, there are alot of things that could cause it. is your car throwing any codes? check the tire pressure also. sounds like its running rich. is the car running unusual?

... i heard a rumor that they made some mustangs with a 3 gallon tank in 2000... you might be one of the lucky owners

Wow yeah that's a super special edition rare model
Clean your fuel system(try seafoam), change your fuel filter, change your air filter, maybe get a tune up. BTW...this might seem obvious, but have you checked to see if you have a fuel leak?

[MustanG_guy17]

Exhaust leak,dirty fuel filter, dirty air filter, I say sea foam it and check all I listed.

its a 2000 and no leaks and no codes comin up and its runnin normal it just eats gas and i dont drive like a maniac and put my foot to the floor every 2 seconds my friend has a 94 gt and only puts 20 in a week so its obviously something wrong

do as the other posts have said and clean and check everything and make sure you use punctiation so we can read what you are typing and we can help you better its a pain to try to read exactly what you are saying when you just keep typing everything in one sentence and that takes time that we could be using to help you out with your problem and just be sure to check everything and also you may just have a bad gas guage which could be a possibility but check everything first to rule those options out

how many miles do you get from a full tank of gas until your fuel light comes on? Sounds like a bad O2 sensor if its running that rich, but no codes too? Check your spark plugs to see if they are gross, and toss in some fuel cleaner to clean the injectors, on top of the other stuff ppl have said.
