Fuel Economy

Dear Mustang Friends,

I have a fuel economy problem in my 2000 Ford Mustang V6. If you could help me answering my questions, I will appreciate.
My problem is, I can only make 210 miles with 13.5 gallons of gas during winter time( which is 15 mile/gallon). Is it normal? Or is it below average?

I took the car to the dealer and it was checked through all the diagnostics and they told me that everything seems OK. They could not find anything wrong with it. And according to diagnostic check my car is consuming 21 miles/gallon. But as I told you above, I can hardly make 15 miles/gallon. What might be the problem?

P.S. I used to make 240 with 14 gallons of gas in the same period last year.

The only thing I can say is it may be your driveing. but I doubt that. I drive mine real hard and get 350+ miles on 12 gallons. Some cars are mad with engines that are duds. It just born that way. Kinda like the dumb kid in the class. I wish I was more help. Good luck. Keep us informed
