My 98 SVT gets 21.7 avg. I drive maybe 80%hard(rev to 6k)/20%(rev to 4k). I have paper documentation since I bought the car in June. I figure it out every time I gas up.
I blows my mind that I can drive that hard and get that good a mpg. I have opened the throttle body and cleaned it up. I also use the Techron 3-4 times in 6 months, that helped. And finally the fuel filter was changed.
Wife has an SE Duratech. She gets about the same kind of mileage and she drives real easy.
Just do the filter, clean T/B, use Techron, and drive real hard to blow out the crap in your system. It should help.
Good Luck and welcome. You'll get the mod itch soon
