No CEL does NOT always mean "no codes" in KAM !

As a # of others have noted, 24-28 mpg in mixed driving seems to be the norm. for the V6. Mine has improved steadily with new plugs, new o2 sensors, K&N OEM air filter, oil & filter change every 3-4K miles,one of those Bomb Mufflers/ebay,actually sounds pretty good so far, like an old Healy6,=less back pressure, and I'm convinced running 90+ gas has helped. I'm curious how long have you had the car, and was your milage ever better?
By the by, the original plugs had 74+K miles and looked like 174K, the O2 sensors had seen better days also. The suggestion to check it out @ the Zone is a good one, unless you have your own code unit, but we wouldn't be having this chat if you did. Seriously it's probably the easiest and cheapest way to answer your question.

I've had my 2.5 ATX Mystique for 105,000 miles now, and I commute 100 miles daily to work and usually another 300 miles on weekends, all Interstate driving at 65-70 MPH on cruise control. I've consistently gotten between 28.5 and 31.5 MPG with this car, the worse mileage usually in the summer with the AC on all the time. I always get 300 miles before I fill up, which is at least before a quarter tank.

I've just bought my 95 Mystique V-6 MTX with 146k on it and I get 275 to 325 on a full tank. I've suffered an all time low MPG at 240mi/tank. Kind of makes me miss my 450mi/tank Escort.  At least till I hit the gas pedal and go, go, gooooo.  Although the all time low happened when I was screwing with it because of clogged EGR ports at the throttle and crazy TH because of the IAC. I still get a CEL but the code indicates that it's the TPS (throttle position sensor) which might have contributed to the crazy TH.
