[QUOTE="SoCal94, post: 5963355, member: 52663"] Secondaries open at 3750. On our California crappy gas (oxygenated junk), I get 16-20 mpg. 16 mpg is driving like a jerk for most of the tank, and 20 is commuting the whole tank (mixed, mostly highway), driving like a grandma. On a pure road trip I can get up to 24, but that's driving like grandma (barely touching the loud pedal) cruising on the freeway for the entire tank. I usually put in 12-13 gallons per fill, and rarely make it to 250 miles. In other states, and with better gas, I know people do a lot better, but the regional California tune from Ford, and our gas provide SUCKY mileage. At least it is still a lot of fun to drive! When I first got the car (March 2000, bought the 2000 SVT Contour new) I tried different driving styles to get better mileage. When I tried a full tank of 'never let the secondaries open up', I got the worst mileage EVER. Now I shift at around 4-5k, and just stay very light on the pedal, and get around 20 for most tanks.
