ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
THE ENGINE HAS A GAS PROBLEM!(VERY BIG ONE) I GET 150 MILES TO 15 GALLONS, THE MUSTANG SHOULD BE RECIVING AT LEAST 270. I HAVE MODIFACATIONS, BUT THEY ONLY WOULD TAKE OFF ABOT 10 MILES. FORD HAS HAD THE CAR RAN EVERY TEST POSIBLE AND EVERYTHING COMES OUT OK, THEY DONT HAVE A CLUE WHAT IS WRONG. IVE SEEN OTHER RECALLS ON MUSTANGS THAT ARE FUEL REALATED AND IM STARING TO THINK MINE IS ALSO. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CAR PLEASE CONTACT ME, IM IN A POSITION NOW WHERE I NEED ANSEWERS WHERE THE MANUFACTURE CANT GIVE ME. THANX.
