MPG for a 99 mustang GT?

[borian939]

I'm considering buying a 99 mustang GT v8.

What's about the best mileage one can get if one drives carefully?

These mods are added if they may make a difference:

Air intake, X-Pipe, and headers.

Thanks

Auto or 5 speed?

I saw normally 22-23 mpg mixed highway/city with more highway with stock gears. I hit 25mpg once. Since the gears I hit 25mpg once, but probaly see more around 20-23 depending on driving conditions.

ps im a 5spd

I put about 350 highway miles on mine a week. I get about 25-27MPG using 5th gear and cruise control.


City..i get like 18

dont buy v8 for gas miles. im suprise that we all got good gas miles on these cars.

Light car plus powerful low-displacement V8 engine usually leads to good highway mileage.

I agree though..don't buy a Mustang for fuel economy. There are days where i can burn 1/2 tank of gas within a 5 mile radius

I get 18 mixed on my modded bullitt (3.73's). my vert is stock except for intake and weld in mufflers and it gets 14...go figure. I think cause its slower I am harder on the gas pedal in my vert.
