Gas Mileage

TOOLinYourFace · August 7th, 2008, 07:27 PM

I know this question has probably already been answered but I was wondering.. for all the 2000 3.8's, how many miles do you average per tank? I'm getting between 200 and 250. Does that sound about right?

jhumphrey4 · August 7th, 2008, 07:40 PM

thats what im getting in my 01.. usually around 250 right before my light comes on. I do a lot of city driving. There was a guy on here week or so ago that got 380 something. Thats crazy. But yeah 200 - 250 is what i get

MIA · August 7th, 2008, 07:45 PM

my '95 gets about 200 miles to the tank :-(
I don't even WOT that often

Toph6888 · August 7th, 2008, 07:45 PM

i usually average 26-28 mpg...80% highway....so usually im at about 240-250 once i hit 1/4 of a tank, and thats when i always fill up

supermachone · August 7th, 2008, 09:58 PM

i was getting about 300 to a tank but my service engine soon light is on and i only get about 200 now...i think its time for some new o2 sensors and possibly a maf cleaning

Dang I just drove back up to Michigan in an 02 GT and we got 26 MPG

Like 300 a tank one time

I have a 2000 3.8 and I usually fill up around 300 for city driving or 400 for freeway. Yours seems a bit low.

thats crazy... i know driving style has a lot to do with it.. when i drove like a grandma, came off of lights slow and drove right at the speed limit i got 280.. and i was pumped about that.. but 300 and 400.. wow

HBK_2007 · August 8th, 2008, 03:09 PM

shit i got 240 miles on my gt and still had 1/8 of a tank left (idk when the low fuel light comes on cuz i fill up when ive got an 1/8 left and it doesnt come on)

330CubeGt · August 8th, 2008, 04:16 PM

i get 28mpg highway everyday out of my 96 v6

96gtstang&V6 · August 8th, 2008, 04:30 PM

do 96-98 stangs have low fuel lights that come on when your getting too low? I have noticed one in my 2002 v6 but i have never seen one in my 96 gt?

TOOLinYourFace · August 8th, 2008, 11:25 PM

i appreciate it... i always get between 200 and 250... worst i ever got was like... 80 miles with a 1/4 tank left lol.. things that happen when you get a new car and feel like gunning it... everywhere

I know from experience that the 1995 does not have a low fuel light....you can take it to where you have to walk to a gas station without any low fuel lights coming on :-)

Well on my last trip I had one tank at 27.5mpg and the next at 26.x. It's almost too good.. lets see what I get after 3.73's.

MustanG_guy17 · August 9th, 2008, 09:56 PM

I got 260miles to a tank in my 04gt.. and I drive it pretty hard sometimes.

justinsstang · August 10th, 2008, 01:56 AM
