Using that number (225 was total distance today, I actually drove it until it died from having no gas :P).. and assuming it has a 13 gallon tank (I don't pay attention, sadly :P).. that comes out to 17.3mpg.




Can't assume how much tank can hold. Need to do the fill up and calculations.

In addition, automatics get lower mileage than manual. You should be looking at 20 or so mpg in city driving and 26 or so for highway (I get 18 for city and 24 for highway for my V6 auto). Zetec I4 auto owners will probably be able to give a better estimate.

Is your Check Engine light on? Mileage goes down a lot when that is on. If the light is on, you need to scan (free service at Autozone or Advance Auto) and post the codes. Or you can scan it yourself since it is a 95 (OBD-I).
