How come nobody believes me when I tell them my Maro get's 21 city, 27 hwy?

6 speed on 3.43's rocks. :rock:

[xT0U3UGh]

if i fill 'er up, then drive for a good bit (about a tick above e)

record those miles, then fill 'er up again.

mpg would be those rec'd miles, div'd by the amount of gallons, right?

[Faigokilix]

Sure, why not?

That's how I do it.

Of course, I'm not one of those braniac, technical, know-alls. Just a layman.

well, if that is the case, my 1999 mustang gt convertible 4 spd auto got:

17.930074257425742574257425742574

mpg.

Without extra sensors plugged into your fuel line to record fuel flow and allso conected to your speedo to record speed and distance thats the most acurate you are gonna get.

That would be just around town, right, not freeway?

[agrismhig]

a little freeway, but approx 85-90% round town, yes

[Phoneemer]

you should calculate it over a few tanks of gas for best accuracy

[ElcinBoris]

That's what I do. I just fill my tank to the top and set the tripometer. Then I keep track of the next few times I put gas in, the last time, I fill the tank add up all the gallons used and divide by the total miles. Like OUZbnd said, a few tanks will give you a better overall picture.

[reervieltnope]

yeaup. thats the next step

17? sorry... I got 20 mpg the other week in my car, but thats because it sat running for a while one night.

your forgiven. you only have half the cylinders. when you find the other 4, then you can compare.

[tramadolwithall]

Forgiven for what? Not buying a Ford, again?

[jabader]

no. you said "sorry" so i forgave you
