How much--gas MPG

[hova15]

so far even if i drive normal (not agressive at all) i still only manage to get 18 MPG. New plugs,mobile 1 synth oil,clean the k an n air filter,shifting at around 3500 rpm still 18. Any other ideas? im thinking 02 sensor and fuel filter? will that improve it alot?

o2s maybe but the filter wont.

What wheels and tires do you have on? If they are not stock, you could be going further (and faster) than what the odometer (and speedometer) reads.

And it is not running cold? (i.e. stuck thermostat)

My 98 svt only gets about 18mpg........always has........runs like mad though!!! My new 00 svt I just bought got 31.5mpg all the way back from Fl. turns out front IMRC was stuck closed since linkage is GONE and so less air means less fuel means better mpg.

This is the first thing I'd look at, too -- the telltale sign will be that you get a paltry amount of heat out of the heater, even when it is turned up.
