Well, Joc, I posted such a "dumba$$" reply because as DemonSVT was smart enough to observe and I assume any other intelligent person would too is that Im50fast "just seems to want to complain, but not really do anything about it..." I'm sorry if your limited intellect didn't allow you to pick up on that. O.k. I'm done. Nate.
Actually, one more thing, do you sign everything "Loser" or is that just a nickname your friends and family gave you?

Hey Im50Fast,
I know a friend with a fox body Mustang with twin turbos and i think he might wanna sell it. It gets better than 20 mpg too...that's when its not overheating from his poor installation

Check it every time I get gas. Always get around 35 (all h.way driving though) lowest I ever got was 29 and that was w/ a lot of city driving. I also do extensive maintenance when called for; plugs, filters, and such.

well, I've got a 95 SE and i'm getting atleast 25-26 mpg. I do about 75% highway driving, most at around 70. I usually reach about 320 mi with some left before refilling. Every once and awhile I'll really get into her, but usually just comfortable driving levels. I just got the car 3 months ago and the car hasn't had any treatment above and beyond the normal. Just mobil 1 and 89 octane! Come to find out, i think my parking brake has been doing some slight rubbing too, so i might get more mileage now that released the pressure of it off the rotor....just my thoughts

I've been having problems too with the fuel economy on my car. I just recently changed everything plugs, wires, conical air charger, fuel filter and oil changes and filter changes every 5000km, yack yack yack the only thing I havent checked but everyone says can give you poor fuel economy is the cats get clogged but that should trigger the CEL. I'm gonna send it in to a shop when I get some time off school! I drive 170km to school and back 4 days a week! I see only 450km a tank and thats being kind on the peddle and cruise!!
Currently: 2002 ztw focus wagon, black, manual. Yippee it sucks!!

Its getting colder,the economy will get worse,most engines are 'overcooled' with a stoc mech water pump and hardly ever reac 'optimal' operating temps in cold weather.
