My car takes up so much gas.....does anyone know? For a full tank of
gas I only get 240 miles. Can anyone help me?

240 city or highway?
you could probably need a tune up if its not getting the performance and gas mileage that it used to. You could also try a fuel injector cleaner as that can also cause it.

[mstangv6]

Well it's both city and highway.....I don't think I need a tune because
my car is just new. I got it last year.

the age isnt all you look at for a tune-up, you also look at mileage.
you could try some performance parts that increase MPG, exhaust, cold air, gears (sometimes), electronic ignition boxes. etc.

Well thanks I'll go ahead and try to do that. Well I just put something
in my gas tank and hopefully that will help.

what did you use? 2 that i recommend are Redline FI cleaner and zmax recommended by carrol shelby.

You know what I can't seem to remember but all I know the color
on that liquid is red.

[Vortex]

oh.. where did you get it and how much did it cost?
it might help deduce...i was in parts sales for too long.. lol

[mstangv6]

I'm not sure how much. I don't think it cost a lot.

Well a V-8 isn't know for gas milage. I do much better on highway than in city, but then again I didn't get the car for gas milage.

[mstangv6]

Well is just I've spending alot of money in gas and all.....that's sucks!

[AirbornePB]

I spend about 20 bucks a week going back and forth to work.

get a lightning....then you can complain about MPG....

[Vortex]

well performance and mpg decreases can be have been linked to emissions devices before... you may have a clogged cat, bad egr valve, or possibly like mentioned earlier.. something that needs to be cleaned that causes rich mixture.

Okay thanks!
