This message is for BBorges especially, but everybody read and comment.
Well, down here in Texas where the air gets hot, thin, and humid (all bad things for combustion) I am not doing so well.
In the winter, with the A/C off, I can do pretty well.
But here in the summer, not so good. I can get about 250 per tank. Maybe 285 if I mix in a little highway. I am a four cylinder (ZETEC) with ATX. I love the car, but am a bit dissappointed in the mileage.
If I do ALL highway driving, it gets a lot better. I drove form Dallas to Abilene several months ago, and avoided the A/C for much of it, and averaged 29 mpg. I could have gone 400 on that tank. I had about 370 and the light was on, so 400 would push it come to think of it.
But that is my record- 29 mpg and 360-370 miles on a tank.
In the city, my mileage has been as low as 16 mpg, and that was a shock.
