Not good at all for a V6. I get around 20-23 MPG. 15 MPG is usually what a V8 GT gets.

i get 17 mpg with the turbo running rich

here is a list of maintanance things that could eb causeing it
dirty spark plugs -> change spark plugs
dirty fuel filter - change fuel filter
low tire pressure (this really causes low mpg, i know!!)
dirty air filter ->change air filter
EGR stuck -> try removing the vac tube an plugging it for a week and seeing if that improves the mpg
dirty fuel injectors

try some of those that should fix it, if it dosent i have a couple other things it could be....

and yeah a list of mods would help

Posted by: kissajew86

egr is exhaust gas recirculation, if it gets stuck open it can give poor gas mileage
