Default 96 2.3 M5OD mpg

This last tank I've been averaging 24-25, prob 60/40 City/Hwy, that's pretty damn good right?

Sounds about right. I'm on 31s with the ac on in stop and go rush our traffic and my last tank averaged 23.75 mpg accounting for the difference in tire size. Gotta love it!

Yeah, but you have a Duratec, those do a little better (especially in town) than the Limas

both the 97 and older and late-2001 and newer were 2.3 liters, but completely different engines.
