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.

now that i drive hwy every day to and from work, i'm getting around 400 miles to a tank, just under 30mpg... sometimes 28, sometimes 29, just depends on conditions i suppose. that's with using cruise & a/c every time i drive it. so i don't think that's too bad

in the winter time i average about 34 mpg
right now i'm getting about 36 mpg 37 mpg was my best all 87 octane, one advantage of having a slow, underpowered 1.8 st you guys should try a fuel/oil additive called MYSTERY OIL. i add about 1/2 a quart to my oil whenever changed, and maybe a 1/4 quart or more to my gas whenever i fill up. it cleans, reconditions, and keeps your engine running great. |
