yes and no. the sticker says something like that. but fit owners get anywhere from 25-50+ based on their driving style/habits.
50mph in fifth gear = 50.xx mpg.

I have a couple friends with them, they get 34mpg consistently.
good car for what it is, but it doesn't get 50mpg, I don't care what the obc says at no load on a downhill grade in 5th gear with a tailwind...

that's fine dude. im not going to argue over the internet. it takes a lot, but it's possible.
with my old mustang i could baby it and get 24mpg. or romp on it and get <9, so it's all about how you drive

what's there to argue about when it's just facts? I've gotten 25mpg in both of my mustangs driving from SF to LA and back, multiple times, just on the freeway doing 90mph on cruise, nothing special about maintaining speed in a straight line ![[Confused]](confused.gif)
But that doesn't make them 25mpg cars, they both get 18mpg on most tanks.
I mean shit, the average person who keeps track of their gas mileage on the Government's fuel economy website seems to show them as being a 31mpg car...

car looks good... since you did something with the headlights. Maybe do something with the taillights? Smoke them? Or covers? Or maybe cobra taillights?

Better move that shopping cart from your yard in the second picture...That would suck on your new paint job....
Looks great....
Ps, please cut the holes in your Mach hood if you already haven't

Thanks dan, yea it was alot of work, but well worth it. I just wanted to post up a couple pictures of it cause cafords supplied alot of parts/information/and help to get it back where it should be. And to "delsolbrother" can you please make your own thread if you have anything more to say, you said your opinion and leave it at that.
p.s. Good looking totalkaos92
