I'm a new ST owner, I just bought a 2005 XLS. I also bought into the estimated 16MPG City/21 Hwy sticker EPA rating. My 2nd tank of gas got me 14 MPG in my commute to work of 5 miles each way which has several stop-lights on a 55 MPH road. So, I guess you can call that city mileage, I was hoping it was combo. Anyway, I'm not real happy with 14 MPG. I'm hoping it will improve, as some have told me, as the motor breaks in (it has just over 600 miles on it right now). I'm a bit bummed because I can get 14 MPG from a V-8 Chevy Silverado or F-150 which will smoke the ST in performance. If I'm going to live with 14 MPG, I want more performance. Or I would live with the current performance if I can get a few more MPG (at least the 16 MPG I should be getting!). So, does anyone have any suggestions, such as KKM intakes, computer chip modifications, etc?
Thanks!
Thanks!
