I'm getting around 22-24 in mixed driving depending on my mood, if you know what I mean. That would be about 360 miles to bone dry. [8D]

 

I put the K&N replacement filter in and it made no difference in mileage. Zip, Zero, Nada.

I'm averaging 21-23 with combo hwy/city driving of about 65/35.

I'm a little bit disappointed, hoped it might be better.

2006 S Sport, V6/ATX, 3500mi on the clock. maybe it will get better when it breaks in further.

 

Well, the V6 is not known for good fuel mileage! After all, it is a Ford engine. You should definately see at least 1 mpg difference in the Air Filter or something is not right. I had a drop in air filter in my I4 and it made a slight difference. 1 to 2 mpg. Not much but it can add up over time!

 

I got mine in August. 6i Sport w/ 2.3liter Took a trip to Phila from NH and arrived with 457 miles on the odometer and still hadn't seen the light come on. I got 34 mpg. I have been getting 30-32 so far with normal driving.

 

Just took a trip from Louisville to Orlando back in July/Aug and with the cruise on about 72mph, I was getting just a hair under 35mpg. On my normal commute, 45 miles round-trip and 90% hwy, I average about 32mpg.

5-speed 2.3l '03 6i

 

Im getting about 375 to a tank but I know if I could get more if I layed off the throttle a little bit.

 

yea...
i'm only gettin about 24-25MPG man! i don't even drive it that hard! it sucks cause i know that i'm gettin less than 400 miles to a tank..usually around 360....i have a '05 2.3 5-door w/sprt pckg & 29k on the clock....any suggestions on what i can do/buy to give me a little better milage?!?!

Are you running the A/C a lot? Or what do you drive on most HWY or City?

 

not all bro! i barely use my a/c!!!! in fact the only time i've used it was when it was 100 outside....otherwise i just have my windows down!my drving is a mix of 60%/hwy & 40%street.....what should i do?

 

I'm impressed with how much better gas mileage the manual transmissions are getting compared to the automatics. The listed difference is like 1 mpg, but from what I've read here, it's much more substantial. Personally, I wouldn't want a stick shift - it's too hard to eat a double-double, french fries, and soda when you've got to shift all of the time.
