and by following some of the tips, I've increased my mileage. I was getting 17-18mpg and now I'm getting 22-23mpg. I increased my tire pressure by far and modified my driving drastically.
Last week I added grill blocks. Here are the pictures:

I didn't block the grill completely, for fear of overheating in the warm weather we have in the Reno area.
I drove for 300 miles and didn't budge over 22.5mpg, so really they didn't do anything. I also did an antennae delete and that did not do anything either.
I'm interested in getting into the 25-28mpg range if possible What can I do? Should I go ahead and spend cash on the scanguage? |
You stated in your original post that you mostly do in town driving, so going from 17-18 (the new EPA est for your car) to 22-23 is pretty good!
That generation of the Taurus is the slickest they've built (0.30 Cd) so some aero mods would work if you did more highway driving. In the city saving gas appears to be mostly technique.
