Howdy. Newbie to ecomodding but not cars in general. I've been enjoying the challenge and mechanics of this automotive tangent plus it appeals to my inner cheapskate. I recently bought a 91 model 3/5 metro that introduced me to this hobby, and while it proved far to spartan for me to walk past my superduty for commuting I have high hopes for this recently acquired mustang. With its much more common parts base and stronger aftermarket its going to be fun and a more fulfilling challenge to ecomod.

The cars details are

1992 mustang LX notch
Dual plug 2300 Lima 4cyl
A4LD trans
Dual exhaust
195/70/14 tires 42psi

First full to fill 23.8mpg

My goal is a modest 30mpg for now with the goal of NOT sacrificing comfort for my 25 mile commute

Welcome aboard, and good luck with your goals. My current goal is to get my 4 Liter Mustang's lifetime average over 30 MPG. Current lifetime average is 29.7 MPG.
My worst ever tank was 24.98 MPG. I must be doing something wrong.
