Question Asking for gas saving tips on late 80s mustang?
Hey guys I have an 88 gt that you all know is decent when it comes to gas milage. However I am in college right now and I'm trying to save all the money I can and still enjoy my ride. If anyone could give me a few tips on what I could do to possibly to pull a few more miles out of my gas tank I would be tremendously grateful! Thanks!!

Stop pressing on the gas pedal for starters, lol.

Seriously, practice smooth easy take offs and shift early. There is no need to rev it past 2000RPM for normal driving. Make sure to avoid quick stops and jack rabbit starts. Keep it in good tune and keep the oil changed when needed.
