Should I dig up those nasty little threads from 2003?!?!?!
Your car is now tuned quite well. Why not tell people what you did to get better gas mileage?

Info center shows 15.2 now. On the highway I get 20-21. Around town, maybe 13-14.
That's with a 5 speed, 4.10s, more oil in the combustion chamber than gas and me beating the hell out of the car everyday.

Lol!
I'm getting about 23MPG on highway (65-70MPH) and 13 in city for a mean on 18.8 right now. If I slow down to 55, then it goes up to 28MPG. Having as much aerodynamism than a brick sure helps... :wink:
"edit" stupid me... Haven't look at the thread being in Lincoln... LOL

I ran 24.8-25.2 on a 757 mi trip to Chicago last week @75-80mph.
And 22.8 on a 300 mi trip to Warren today, so that was about 15
miles of stop and go in the city. 3.27 gears help big time on fuel on
the highway. Ain't worth a s#!% for get up and go!!

Oh, and for what it's worth, the '95 will do 30 or so on the highway. Those cars get WAY better gas mileage than the VIIs. So to say I find that 30.2MPG in a VII BS would be an understatement.

20.5 mpg highway in my Expedition at 5600lbs curb weight and 1200 pound payload. 27-28 mpg all highway in my '98 Mark VIII.

Before I swapped gears: 16 After gear swap: 20 and that's only if I keep my foot out of it and that's hard to do.

Yup, 6 sounds about right. Good thing it has a big tank....

Gears do no increase mpg. They will make them go down. But depending on how you drive it. You could gain mpgs if you stay off the throttle I guess. Since you are using less power to turn the wheels. But how many people do that?

That depends on what you start with. Just because someone says they put 'gears' in the car doesn't mean they lowered the ratio. They may have started with 3.73's and went to 3.27's. That would definitely increase the fuel economy.
