32mpg is unachievable in a V6 Contour. At that fuel consumption the car would have a range of 748KM per tank. I once broke the 700KM barrier in my 96 but that was with the CEL on for running lean in banks 1 and 2. 35mpg would give a range of 818KM, even a 4cyl Ztec couldn't do that so if you are getting 32-35 with your 3.8L supercharged GTP there is no need to look for something else to save on gas.



730 with about 5L left in the tank is the best I have done in the Zetec. That was @ 120 and the temp was around 5 degrees or so. Betting I could make 800 or so to near empty if I drove on a hot day uninterupted. Of course that is all ideal conditions that are rarely obtainable.
