    MM Gas Mileage poll..Sound off!

    At the risk of smartassed replies, I would like to pose the question of City and Hwy mileage that you are all getting. I am getting approx 250 miles per tank and I run the AC alot ( its hotter than a 2 peckered goat here lately ).

    Thanks in advance,

    Donnie

    Bone stock I got 325-350 a tank.

    With 4.10 gears I also achieved 350 miles on one tank.

    Since the S/C the most I've been able to get is 250, and the norm is 200-225.

    I have not changed my route much, I'm still on the highway for 30 miles a week, the rest is city.

    How many gallons do you put in per tank?


    Not a Marauder, but for comparison. I get 200 miles per tank of 12 gallons in (16.9) town and 250 miles (20.5) on the highway. In town I drive expressways 60-75 + stop and go. On the highway I drive 70-80.

    I'm getting around 21 with the a/c on and doing a combination of city and highway driving. All I have for mods are u/d pullies and a K&N drop in filter.

    Call 1-800-FORD-788 and press "1". Have the last 6 of your VIN handy. You will get the numbers for FREE. You'll pay $$$ for the certificate.

    MM traded in 8/9/13 @ 128909 miles. It was fun for almost 8 years. I met airmercpun on 1/17/14. He was the new owner of my former ride. -Now gone.

    Update: back in the game with a late build 03 GMGS with some MM add ons like Escape audiophile radio w/Sirius sat radio, rear sway bar, catback exhaust, and header panel.

    See my garage file for part numbers and whatnot.

    IMHO, this site- the members that I chat with- and the ones that I now Hang with- are like my 2nd family. There is such an ongoing welcome feeling here that even members who don't or no longer own the MM can feel.

    Before 11/24/05 I got good mileage since then I get great mileage. Not many miles per tank but every one of them is a blast. Dennis

    I am in the same boat as Dennis; however for numbers about 15 in town and 21 on the highway. (7 on the track)

    When I re-fuel, Im putting in 16 gallons and Im getting 230 miles out of it. Most of it is city driving. Jeez, after seeing what some of you are getting, I am truly wondering if something is wrong w/ my MM. Any suggestions?

    Well I had to fill up on Saturday and it was my lowest milage yet....I put back on the stock air box and had been lead footing it around the last week and got 238 miles from that tank and I usually put around 16.7 gallons and run till the light comes on....Normally I can get around 270 miles on a good week with mostly city driving and over 400 miles per tank on all highway driving. Call me ignorant but I never knew how to calculate gas milage...it couldn't be as easy as dividing your gallons by miles traveled could it?

    I AVERAGE 15-16MPG, and most of that is city. But, on road trips, I get upwards of 24.

    Actually, it is the other way around. Now if you had a boat or an M1 tank, it would be gallons per mile.

    Just be consisent on filling the tank. I just let it run until automatic shutoff with no extra "squeezes" to top it off. Reset your trip meter to "zero". Then repeat. The calculation is "Miles traveled divided by the gallons needed to bring you back to automatic shutoff". Its more accurate if you use the same pump .... but either way, you will be pretty darn close.

    I'm getting only about 14 to 15 MPG, all city driving, mostly hammering it from one light to the next.

    I'm thinking about driving my 8.1L GMC 2500 HD to reduce my fuel bill.

    Guess I drive gingerly

    I was getting 26 highway before the Lidio tune, now I get 24. City around 19-20.

    wish it was like my dads CV, he gets 31 highway out of a 4.6.
