Is the gas mileage really this worse in the 3.5?
Ok guys, had a 97 Max.....manual.......no matter how hard I drove it I'd always get at least 300 a tank, all city. Now this I35 barely gets 225. Did the power increase affect fuel efficiency THAT much? Oh well though, I'm in love with the 3.5 Who cares.
I get pretty good mileage on the highway, but in the city....I try not to even think about it.
Especially with the traffic/construction here in Knoxville. I'm now living off campus and commuting to school every day, and I'm trying my best NOT to look at the gas gauge...

I feel pretty good then....I'm at WOT a lot more than what I think I should (plenty of speeding tix to show) and I always see 400 per tank with each fill.
I think I got 360 a few weks ago with a lot of in-town driving but ...dang....I'd be concerned at 300 from each tank, before now
I'm using highest octane I can get and have no detonation knocks, 107K miles and do 80/20 (hwy/city) driving.
It's reassuring that now if I do get 300 from a tank ...and forgot that I was city driving alot, I won't go tearing stuff apart on it looking for what's wrong.
