[Shotimes] gas mileage issues

[Paul L Fisher]

You have some serious issues with your car if you are only getting 8 MPG. I
hit redline just about every time I take off and I still average 21 MPG. How
old are your O2 sensors?

24?!!....i would be HAPPY if my SHO get 24 mpg........my SHO is gettin 13
mpg on the HIGHWAY....ok...and 8 in the city, which is where i do most of my
driving....so yea...i fill up my SHO 4 times a week just going to school and
back, which is 3 miles from my house...120 miles to work and back on the
weekends, with trying to drive like i have SOME brain....not too bad, i try
to keep it under 3500rpms...... but hey...2 of those fill-ups are free, when
you work for a family member who owns a car dealership....you are bound to
get free stuff!!...but gettin back to the point, gas miliage on my 93 atx
SUCKS!!......oh well....


btw,
coming home from work last sunday, i pulled up to a stop light beside a
black Mustang GT mtx....it was some kid...he TRIED to race me.....key word
TRIED.....i left him soooo bad next stop light we came too he turned off and
found a faster way to get ahead of me, cause about 15 miles down the road he
was turing infront of me at a stop sign.........moral of the story....dont
ever try a SHO......cause we will win....it might not be me...but i know
there are some people on this list and others that will KICK YOUR ASS!!!!!
