You got the CD changer! Do you have rear speakers too? Wow, you did get a fantastic deal on that car.

Yepp. I think I could have gotten it for less...but 3k seemed fair, I felt plenty comfortable paying that for it. Keep in mind the cd changer gives me an error (that it is empty) and when I try to load it, it won't pop. I have yet to search it out, I just got online to check my e-mail (eBay and Craigslist), and got distracted here lol

UGH. 12.405 gallons for 678.9 (weird) miles.

54.72 MPG, an estimated 65.8

I did my usual, pull up, start the pump at it's lowest possible setting, and wait for it to click. It did, at 1.7 gallons. "Awesome!" Alright, lets do it right...next click occurred at 12.405.

Seriously? I did some Google & IC searching, but it seems like an over fill. Just wasted fuel.

The worst part, was as I was cruising with zero bars, and my check engine light came on (<1 mile from the station). I am hoping it goes away. About 20 miles on her since, and it is still there...no info from IC on that. I look forward to any feedback! Will most likely start filling around 1-2 bars, I like taking the Mustang to low (to take advantage of that low fuel (lower weight) mileage.

My mom always tells me that you should never go below a quarter tank or something, because you get bad stuff deposited there. I figure that it will never build up if burn it!

Usually fuel pumps pump from the bottom, and fuel filters are pretty common now. Both kind of take away from that.

A serious point for the Mustang is that the fuel pump is cooled by the fuel in the tank, allegedly sometimes causing fuel pumps burning out.

Feah, the tank capacity is 10.6 gallons, so that's definitely an overfill.

As for your CEL... take it to Advance/Autozone and use the code reader and post back here (the OBDII port is in a nonstandard position, the left side of the passenger footwell).
