For some reason I average better mileage at 70mph rather than 65mph. Winter: roughly 290-325miles depending on gas station Spring/Summer: roughtly 375-390miles I dunno why the car is giving me such great mileage, though I do not drive hard AT ALL. People constantly flash me when on the local roads accelerating from a stop. I think a considerable amount of it is due to driving practices. I have driven my mother's car for a while, where she was averaging 22mpg, and when I drove it, it shot up to 26mpg. To summarize this babbling, I drive slower than my mom!

WUSS! haha, just messin, thats pretty good mileage right there, when I take off I always take off faster then the other people, even if I take off "slow" some people take off like old ladies. When I say "slow" I mean barely giving it gas. Jason G. 1997 Mercury Mystique GS ZETEC ATX Born: 11/96

It is sooooo nice not having to fill up right away when I get back to school and still have enough to get me threw the week. Not bad out of a 3.3 V6. 95 SE MTX svt exhaust intake deer killer
