Hi,
I've bought my '97 Contour GE (mtx) 3 months ago, (at 57k on it - now it has 69k
)
After the purchase, installed new plugs, wires, K&N filter and new fuel filter - just to be sure.
I reglarly make long (5-600mi) trips with the car, and noticed something interesting about MPG: mostly driving on interstate, I get mpg about 33-34, no matter how hard I drive: once I emptied the thank with strictly 65-70, no hard accelerations, no passes, no A/C - got 33 mpg.
Last time I went to NYC from Tennessee, I was hurrying, driving at 80-90 all the way, passing, hard accelerations, A/C all the way on - I got the same 33 mpg.
Just curious about the explanation (and happy with the number and the car)...
