I have a 01 gt and its getting pretty good gas mileage and my only mod is a k&n intake. I'm probably going to lower the car and just go slow on the bumps lol

Nope, the lower rpms are off set by the extra weight.

u add a 1" spacer to your gas pedal to take the slack out of the cable and bring your pedal right next to the brake. just google "mustang gas pedal mod"

Shift below 2k rpm while on street and stay between 65-70mph on the freeway. You would be amazed at how much gas you save. Going 80mph only gets you to your destination a few minutes early. Unless you are driving for 2-3 hours. Then yes book it. lol

Yeah I been doing that and ive noticed a difference I only do 75 and up when I need to but so far my car has improved with the intake might do a few other thing to get some better mpg. Oh and you guys I would get a Honda but I like driving my dd.

Remove 4 spark plug wires to convert it to a 4 cylinder. You'll save tons of gas.


J/K like others said granny shifting and keeping it at 65 or 70 on the freeway. Don't down shift will help too.
