My daughter filled the tank on her car last week and said she only got 209 miles out of it. Does the 4 cyl Fox have a smaller tank than the V8 cars do? She didn't remember how much fuel it took to fill it so I was hoping someone here knew off hand the size. I might upgrade it to a V8 tank for her if its that much smaller, still it seems like the mileage isn't very good on that thing.

it says those cars get 21-26mpg, so i bet she is getting a lot worse than that. also, says 15.4 gallon gas tank. sounds about right.

She said it took $26 to fill the tank up last time she filled it and at almost empty she had 209 miles. $26 for 209 miles sounds reasonable. Its a 93 so the best engine style in the Fox 4 cyl, just tuned up, clean oil, new air filter and the exhaust is almost all new. The only thing I haven't changed is the O2 sensor, maybe I should put that on the list to try.

$26 / $2.70 (guess) = 9.6 gallons
209 miles / 9.6 gallons = 21.7mpg
