I'm a little disappointed in the gas mileage of my 5 speed '99 GT. I use the car every day and can put up to 400 miles per day on the car. Coming from a '92 ST that averaged roughly 38 MPH, I was hoping for at least mid 30's from my '99 but seem to be stuck right around 30 MPG. I was just curious if anyone else is getting better mileage and if so, what brand plugs are you using, air filter...etc. My car now has 72,000 miles on it and am planning a full tune-up this weekend.

I wrang 32 MPG once out of our 99 right after we got it. Then I learned how hard to need to push it to just get into NJ traffic.
I just filled up the tank in the car after the swap today and without issues causing gas loss. Average of 25 mpg with mostly city driving, and a lot of semi-spirited sprints. --------------------  |
