Hey everyone,
I seriously need some help, because I have no idea what could be causing this kind of mileage on my 2004 4x4 ST. Performance and suspension wise, the ST is pretty much stock. I am running synthetic oil, replaced every 5,000 miles. I have the silencer removed from the air intake. No CEL, nothing wrong. But I keep getting, 12-14 miles a gallon in the city. And maybe around 18 on the highway.
So here is my question to you, what could be causing this?
Could it be because I drive about 3 miles to school, on a cold engine, then back, and about 1 mile to work and back? Since the engine does not get to really warm up and run in ideal conditions. And I dont floor it either, the RPM's usually stay around 2100, and may sometimes go to 2500. But other than that, drive normally.
Please help,
Thank you, George T.
