Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Troubleshooting Fuel Mileage Statistics?? (SVT or reg V6)

My 2.5L got about 23-24mpg in mixed driving with a heavy lead foot.
28-30mpg in straight highway driving.

The 3L gets ~22mpg with mostly city driving and the same lead foot.
28mpg on the highway.

So what is everybody getting nowadays with the winter weather? I'm pretty sure high teens are normal, right?

I seem to always get around 22mpg on my mixed-drive commute. Best on the highway was about 26 in my 99 csvt with no mods. I've always thought it should be higher.

I have a 98 SVT with a K&N, Taylor 8.8 wires, 4+ Platinum splugs and a JET Performance chip and I get about 23 mpg with mixed highway and street driving. I plan to take an xtended trip on the highway here pretty soon, and I am sure I will see about 28 mpg. Hope this helps.

99SE 56k on clock.
Mods- bat conical filter, svt exhaust.

Usually hit about 27mpg in the summer on mixed driving.
Currently, about 23-25mpg in winter, on mixed driving, though I just added a new fuel filter and added some Techron.

98 CSVT msds headers trubendz with magnaflow muffler lots of suspension work etc. I'm lucky if I get over 20mpg..I beat the living crap outta the car. it's the only way the car is any fun to drive

About 280 - 300 MPT
During winter and driving Dallas rush hour traffic =
23.5 to 24.5 mpg

During winter and driving Highway (I-35) to UNT = 26 mpg

During summer and driving Dallas rush hour traffic =
24 to 25 mpg

During summer and driving Highway (I-35) to UNT = 27 mpg

I guess in the summer it gets better? I drove to Oklahoma City back when I was dating my fiance and I constantly got 27 mpg @ 74 mph

Now I cant go under 85 mph on trips to see her parents because it takes so friggin long to get there going slow. Usually 85-90 mph = 24 mpg

I have a 1995 Mystique 2.5L, 5-speed, with 184K miles.

I have always gotten 24-25mpg at 75-80mph, with the A/C off. In the summer, with the A/C on, it goes down to 21-22.

The few times I have driven for long distances at 60-65mph, I have seen up to 28mpg.
