gas milage of your FOX body

[makevelie187]

what kind of gas mileage do you get in your fox stock or modded/ mildly modded, just curious because iv looked at a few v6s acuras, lexus, toyotas in the earlier years and they seem to get the same gas mileage as the fox bodys(manuel that is) so do they? also i am looking to buy one 90-93 GT anything i should look for when buying on mileage they usually start to have problems at stuff like that thanks.

Just off the top of my head you'll want to check body tag's, torque boxes, door locks actuators ( just make sure they work and don't make noise) some window motors start to get slow so you might want to check that, door handles inside and out ( they tend to break) , the ashtray door, and one thing i always check is when you open the fuel tank door make sure the quarter panel is not rusted from the inside, if the drain get plugged and water is allowed to sit they will rust, I learned this from my first cobra and is one of the main reasons i sold it. Just few I can remember, over all the things that tend to break are very simple and most the time don't cost must to fix.
Good luck

My stock 93 Cobra gets about 21 on the highway and in town about 10-15 depending upon driving habits

I honestly dont give a sh!t about mileage in mine, stock at that.

I have an 04' F150 Super Crew with the 5.4L engine. I figure it I get 10 MPG in the city, well then im happy.

I average around 13 in my 04 F150 Super Crew w/ the 5.4. I have driven the truck on the highway, with the cruise on, set at 70 and got 19 MPG. That is not stepping on the gas to pass, slowing down when coming up to slower cars (or passing if I could without touching the gas). Its very hard to have the patience to drive 4+ hours at 70 miles an hour.

Are we talking while I am in the boost or not?

lol, I feel the same way too about gas milage. I also use race fuel all the time, $4.99 a gallon, not cause I need to, but cause of the way it smells :thumbsup:
My F-150 w/5.4 3v motor also is a gas guzler. average about 10 around town.

 

[03BlownSnake]

Oh and if I wanted to save gas, I just ride my 600RR. gets about 32 mpg around town and hauling ass everywhere I go

that's a good title to have. i'd like to get one if it was in the budget.

My 89'GT with 207+K miles, just a K&N filter, 3.73s, o/r mid pipe and flowmasters dump gets 24mpg on hwy without the A/C on and 22mpg with A/C on. In the city it varies because I have a heavy foot, but the best I've seen is 17mpg city.

 

[LEE93COBRA]

stock.. 21mpg hwy with the a/c on
mildly modified (heads/cam/3.73's) 25mpg hwy

Blown with 60# injectors... 20mpg hwy
