wow this thread got off topic way faster than I ever thought. I have put new plugs and wires on the car along with a cai and a tune? will the tune file make a difference in the mpg cause I was getting about 25mpg last summer now this summer I'm lucky to hit 20mpg. also will tire size affect the mpg?

Sorry off topic.REDPIMP,I don't want to see any soldier killed.But that is what the military does,kill other enemy soldiers,terrorist.The oil thing,that's not good either.Just need to know,it takes two to tango,and the dems have done a lot of harm to this country in the last 15 years.Go check out the Hot Zone and read some of the posts.By the way,to answer the original question,probably ethanol gas.My MPG,24 in town,light foot,less when I get heavy foot.Highway cruise control,28.6,no cruise,29.8.Auto.

05 HORSE.What's the problem with all the bad MPG'S? I know that you had a few issues with the "HORSE." Have you got all that fixed yet? I'm figuring that I just got a great built V6 for my Stang.I did have it special ordered and built from the factory.Not a dealer car on the lot.Keeping my fingers crossed.

i think it has to deal with right side cat and 2 good o2 sensors... left side no cat and 1 good o2 one damaged o2... kinda like mis matched.. and god dangit i dunno!

well my truck gets 16 mpg highway under no load last haul i did (402 miles straight no stoping with some major hills ) i pulled out a solid 12..but 10 in town.

but yea before the car broke and ford broke it more i was getting 330 ish miles per tank if i kept my foot out of it. now takeing it super easy im lucky to see 280


i hit 265 today when i filled up from E

The tune will help with gas mileage, but you need to keep your foot out of it. Atleast thats my problem.
