I made it out to Charleston, WV from Detroit on one tank, thats right, one tank (434 miles). I have always belived it was the result of using Amoco Ultra Gasoline with 1 bottle of Gas Saver (like, $0.99). Have not had anything major changed on my car yet (like O2's, ect.), so, maybe try switching up your gas. Have you thrown a bottle of GOOD fuel system treatment in your tank yet? I'm talking 10-12 dollarstuff, like moble 1 synthetic fuel treatment ($10.99), I used that about 4 months ago, and have noticed a huge diffrence in mileage. And don't use that "dollar store alcohol" stuff they call "fuel system treatment" . Give that a try.

Summer...Fall..Winter...Spring....270-290 miles per tank. Only ever get over 300 when my gas light comes on...never changes.

Since installing MSDS headers on my '96SE MTX, I repeatedly got 34 MPG traveling between Dallas and Oklahoma City last summer with the A/C on MAX the whole time! The first trip I thought it was a fluke, but 8 such trips all returned the same results. Around town I've been getting 23-25 MPG. I can't complain...

I use BP Ultimate or Chevron Ultimate w/Techron and run a bottle of the chevron techron gas stuff through every 1-2 months.

Still hasn't helped any.

I only get a little better mileage than my wife's 96 Explorer with the 302 V8.

Dude I am getting 10 MPG in the city! and 20 MPG on the highway! I need the help here! Check my post in the trouble shooting forum !
