Gas Mileage!!!!

[cobralover]

So in the day and age of high gas prices and powerful gas guzzling cars, whats everyone get for mileage? The reason why im asking is because after all the pulleys,cold air,tune, and exhaust i seem to be getting shit gas mileage. So with this thread ill either figure out its normal or my car has gone from being a cobra to being a pig

Last tank I went 295 miles on before filling up with 12.8 gallons. Comes out to a little over 23mpg. It was about 240 highway, 55 city stop and go.

My car has consistently gotten better gas mileage modded than it ever did stock. I never would have imagined gaining 130rwhp/120rwtq and getting significantly better gas mileage at the same time.

thats because the engine struggles less to move the car from a stop, and thus the engine doesnt waste as much fuel.

thats why trucks do terrible. 300 hp may be good to move a 3500 lb car, but 300 hp is terrible to move a 7k lb truck.

I got 23 in mine to and from Rocford the other day, but most of the time when I am driving it an am not so nice and I get 15ish

i've been pulling around 18mpg doing city driving. haven't had a chance to get any highway miles with it. I haven't been trying to see how good a mileage I can actually get. I'm guessing a little better if i baby it for the whole tank. (which is impossible)

i go fast from every stop and get about 15mph or so. sometimes 18mpg when doing some highway but thats rare

Back and forth to work 50/50 highway/city I get 20-21mpg.
Before traffic started backing up because of construction and whatever I got around 22mpg.

 

[blck10th]

if I drive it to work all highway 23-25. But usually 16-17.

 

[TaintedSnake01]

ive been driving everywhere since sat and i avg. 16-18 with the 4.10's in it.

 

[Jimy Bilmo]

I'm about 16-18mpg on 100 octane, and driving like an asshole 50% of the time.

18-20 with 4:10's

 

[Blood on Blood]

2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 4.0 L, ave. 17 mpg
2004 Nissan Altima, 2.5L, ave. 26 mpg

Both vehicles are well maintained and tire pressure in the front is maximum, while the rear is two lbs lighter.

I need to dump that Jeep, pick up a Toyota Pruis, perform their fuel consumption tricks/upgrades and ave. 50 - 60 mpg.

i dunno how you 03-04 cobra guys are getting above 17. if i do only highway driving (i drive like an ass too and i love the sound of my car) i can get MAYBE 18mpg but thats only happened once since ive owned her. i usually get 15 and sometimes dips down into 13's. granted my car does have some wear on here with 65k miles but i just cant see averaging that high of mileage

My trusty 2002 Ford Focus is getting 24-28mpg , My Honda Oddessy gets around 23-25 and the cobra is lucky to see one day a week on the road.
