How's it going guys it's been awhile since I've been here so far my good ol Merk has been good... Just got a question what are you guys averaging on Mpg .. With half a tank I go 120 freeway miles... And then some I think that's pretty good only use chevron 91... So go ahead and chime in what are guys getting on your merc's thanks in advance

I can get 120 from a quarter tank

I've been getting really *****y mileage lately too from what I can gather. Most N/A guys here get 400+ miles to a tank on the highway. I've been getting about 320 TOPS..

Not plugs
Not fuel filter
Not MAF
Not intake/filter
Not vacuum leak
Not low tire pressure

Still runs great..

Cant figure it out :/

I get about 18 mpg unless I get aggressive.
Before ethanol (and a safer tune) I saw 23 mpg on the highway
:banghead:I am so glad ethanol helps reduce my carbon footprint!
And to think how it has helped our economy:mad2:

Fortunately for me my MM is far from a DD.

But back to your question. I get 80-90 miles per quarter tank.
How many miles do you have on the MM?
What maintenance has been done?
Tires?
Might very well be time for a tune up.
Your O2 sensors might be whacked out.
Or plugged up cats.
Etc
Etc

My 03, ~150 till the half way mark, about 280 to a full tank. 17.5 MPG, in commute and she is a daily driver at a minimum of 75 miles a day.

My old 04, ~200 to the half tank, about 3xx to a full tank. ~19 MPG in commute and she was a daily as well.

My mileage used to be a lot better.... ;) -----> :D


If I keep my foot out of it, I can still average 20 - 21 on the highway cruising between 70 and 80.

Around town, not so much. I've been averaging between 10 and 14 since late November of last year, but that's not the car's fault. :burn:

I have an '04 with a cold air kit, complete SW from long tubes to new exhaust tips, Granatelli coil packs, Sparta Performance suspension package, Level 10 reworked tranny, and a DYNO TUNED reflashed computer.

I average 24-26 ON THE HYWAY AND 17-19 AROUND TOWN. It really needs to get into OD for gas mileage

To be honest i don't know how the plugs or fuel filter looks like.. And I do floor it I love the way the engine sounds at 5500-7000 rpm lol .. I'm pretty sure I can manage better mpg if I grandpa drive it... Maintainance .. Tires but we didn't buy these cars for their gas mileage.. DD mine for the most part

7,000 rpm??!! :eek:

Alright guys..... I'm doing 25 mpg in the highway! This is in smooth consistent traffic with no stop and go and with the AC on... So my car did a 60 mile commute today with a fresh half tank and the fuel gauge moved right under the half way mark when I got home. Tomorrow is gonna be bad for some reason Mondays are traffic free however Tuesday -Friday traffic is stop and go. So I guess the biggest factor on getting good mpg is your right foot .. Lol

I can post my mileage when I return from this hitch at sea. I keep logs at every fill up and driving conditions. Will have a 687mi run to visit brother. Will post data upon completion if desired or I can just post the current 600-something miles of data but that's almost all city driving with some highway jumps in between.

No N/A cars get 400 miles per tank. Perhaps at 55 in cold weather on a closed loop track. I got about 360 with the low fuel light on and that's pushing it.

I get 22.5 at 80-85 on the highway which I feel excellent for a V8 full size car. It easily beats the mileage of SUV's and Trucks and is on par with many new vehicles.

We are better than average! -- I know I am :)

I get 400 miles n/a per tank, and have been for years, its not like its a big deal!:P

I have been really good lately and crusing at 68-70mph. I've been rewarded with 22mpg even with *****y E10 fuel.

Our trip to Vegas I'm foot to the floor, crusing at 85-90 then 110 for a few sections. This yields me around 18. I really miss the 3.73's when I'm going to Vegas.
