I was wondering offhand what you all were getting for mileage? Myself I cant break 350 city or hwy. I've tried shiftin under 3500, did a full tune up. I had a full tune up done awhile ago, the only thing i havent done is fuel filter and injector cleaner. I swear when i bought the car, i got way better mileage. i drove from lethbridge to leduc on 1 tank of gas. now im lucky if i get that.
any suggestions? the only other thing i can think of is possibly a bad clutch or something. i had the tranny fluid swapped, but its still kinda notchy and there is heavy pedal feel, but the clutch far as i know doesnt slip at all.

I have 10 months worth of fuel data on my Contour saved on my server. Feel free to download it. There is no recent data on the car though, and all of it at 900' ASL instead of Calgary's 3500' ASL. It will make my ratings look a little higher than yours, but not by much. Mileage Chart
