I've been logging mine in a spreadhseet since I drove it off the lot brand new. My Dad started me on it, and have done it ever since my frist car. Of course, he just writes it down, I added the tecnological twist. I just keep my fule mileage and oil changes on mine. so I guess I am only 75% anal compared to some!

The best I ever hit with my SVT is 22.8 mpg (320 to the tank) in the summer but that's with my heavy foot here and there. The worst is gonna be on this tank I think only 200 miles total. That is so horrible, but I bet everything is stock on it, I just got it not too long ago. I am guessing it needs new O2 sensors, some new plugs, maybe even an UIM cleaning. Can't wait for the Spring, my pockets can't handle this. It fluctuates though, sometimes I get around 260 miles to the tank in this frigid cold, and this last tank is by far the worst ever, I hope I break 200 haha. I am sure we have 14 gallon tanks.

So do I, then used a calculator to get an exact mpg. What are the SVT Contours supposed to be getting anyways? I know someone that has a Tiburon with intake, headers + full exhaust and he is still pushing 28-30 mpg mixed driving.
