i get terrible mileage usually around 280mi per tankful if i run from full to empty with mostly freeway driving
if in the city its much worse than that...but im almost always on the throttle though and have what sounds like either warped rear rotors or sticking parking brake which i think creates some extra drag
my mileage also seems to have maybe dipped slightly since adding filter but high rpm pull in all gears seems to be improving the more i drive it so i'll take it...and cry as our gas prices are on the rise again after a 3yr price low after the highest prices ever
95 contour se...dark blue...monsterflow air filter...remanuf atx...wiring harness recall or bust!!!96k miles...motorcraft awsf32pp plugs & red ford racing 9mm wires...kvr black plated cross-drilled rotors & carbon fiber pads...currently undergoing renovation...excuse our dust!!!
are my dodgers for real????

Ok maybe I don't feel so bad. My most recent tanks have made me 17.5 and 21. I had some freeway in the second tank. :rolleyes:

25.6 overall average since new. Now at 45k miles, a little over 26 mpg. It likes cool weather, no a/c, no traffic. Highway speeds up to 78 mph don't seem to hurt. 87 octane gasoline only.

Average mixed I get 25mpg. On the highway doing 65mph I get 34-36mpg. Not bad for a car with over 60,000 miles on it.
