On an average week, how much $$ do you spend on gas for your stang? I just bought a GT 5spd yesterday (YAY) and wondering how much gas it burns.. I know my 2000 Dodge Ram V8 that I have burns a LOT.. I usually put about $300/mo in the dodge..... just curious..........

lol yea i had it to 13 or 14 mpg when i had the cats on.
As soon as i took them off (again ), gas mileage dropped drastically. in the past 3 days i managed to get around 10 mpg solely based on the fact that it sounds so awesome and i like driving it around.

15 - 18 MPG in town. It'll pull around 23 MPG on the highway, cruising in that tall 5th gear at 70MPH.

$25+ / day

I drive 200 miles a day to work and back. I fill up at about the 1/4 mark on my way home. I get around 250-270 miles on a tank. I "play" sometimes on the interstate but most of my driving is cruise controlled.

I get no more than 12mpg around town driving calmly (seriously). Cruising on the interstate at 78mph I get about 15mpg. And I have to use 93octane, so its about $2.50/gallon give or take $0.10 here and there. Cams + Full exhaust + 4.10's = bad gas mileage, but fun ride!

Right now im at 280 miles on a tank and have just gotten below the 1/4 line. Looks like this will be a good one.

I usually get a steady 21-22 mpg mixed driving but I have gotten 25mpg before.

Most ive gone on a tank was between 330-335 miles I beleive.
