1986 ford mustang how can i get better gas mileage (no i cant do anything to catalytic converter).. it is mandatory in calif.

i dont know how i can calculate the numbers to figure out whats best. do you have a formulation to figure that out?? i am not very mathematical. thanks

thanks i could never have figured that out myself!!! good thing to think about. i know a 1986 car was made to last more than the cars made today are. but sometimes i do feel like i stuck in the 80's when driving it and think it would be nice to get some of the newer features plus the better gas mileage. thanks for all your help!

Opening up the air, k&n airfilter system and opening the exhaust does help with fuel economy and helps with performance. Good maitenence, tune ups, and preium fuel will help. The higher octane with the will also lengthen the motors life. Hope that helps.

would you be able to go from a 4barrel carb to a 2barrel or less I don't know much about Mustangs other than someone I know has/had a 1970 & 1986.

1986 Ford Mustang GT 5.0 EPA; 15 MPG City 22 MPG Highway Combined = 18.5 Not bad for 200 HP and 26 years young!

CHANGE YOUR CARB{S}. DO YOU HAVE A BIG BLOCK OR SMALL? AUTO TRANS OR MANUAL? THERE ARE ALOT OF VARIABLES. AND PEOPLE ON HERE ARE LIKJE ME, WE DIDN'T CARE ABOUT MPG JUST MPH.

pretend there is an egg between your foot and the accelerator

Denis... 1980's Mustang? WHAT BIG BLOCK YOU ASS. As far as the 80's cars built better what fucking planet are you on.
