I really don't think the contour or mystique get good gas miles without some tweaks.




Damn brutha, that's about 16-20mpg. Do you have a cel? I'm not going to say anything on this post, b/c im getting pretty damn good mileage on mine, but I do drive almost all highway. I do about 65 miles/day, and 5 miles are probably city.

And about the tweaks, my car shows that you're correct. When I got her at 35k, she was doing 26mpg/highway. After intake and SVT exhausts (no resonator), now at 52k, I'm doing about 31/32mpg, mind you on an ATX.
