[QUOTE="JC2008SportTrac, post: 1043297, member: 75816"] Tony, my apologies for being a douche-bag earlier. If you're only seeing 7-8 MPG, under ANY driving conditions, except for you having your foot floored on purpose, at all times, then, yes, you have a mechanical issue. It's very likely a plugs/wires issue. And, since you've got a V-6, you can swap those out easily, and very inexpensively. Do so, and you should see a massive improvement in your MPG. I'd bet you're driving around on 4-5 of your 6 cylinders (one or two of the cylinders aren't firing properly). Sorry I was a douche earlier. I'm having a hard time going from a GT500 to a truck; too much of my manhood was tied up in that. :P Please forgive me, I'm trying to be better! [/QUOTE]
