Last 2000 miles have averaged 20.4 mpg. Usually get 20-22 in mixed driving.

My MPG obviously REALLY depends on how I'm driving. If I'm "granny" driving, I get anywhere from 17-20mpg IN town... On the highway, I just took a 120mi 1way trip and set the cruise at about 71, got 30.6MPG. This was a little more than usual, normally it would be around 28.5 at that. If I am in town and accelerating hard, or racing at all, then it's more like 12-14mpg. Also, a lot of mods help with gas mileage, and I have most of those mods. (tuner, intake, and pulleys)

BTW,

I just got my first Mustang, the 09 GT and I have an app on my iphone that calculates my MPG... so currently I'm getting 16 MPG and I'm driving a lot of highway this weekend, so we'll see if it changes much with that

Your car does this for you... why would you need an app on your iphone? LOL

Currently getting 21mpg around town. Just recently got the car..only have filled it twice so far. Need to take it on a road trip to see the highway mpg!

MPG 2008 GT 5 Speed 3.31

Have about 6000 miles on it now, 4000 of it on the highway. I only use the on board computer to keep track. To lazy to sit at the pump with a calculator most of the time.

In town (no traffic jams) 16.5 to 18
Mixed 18 to 21
Highway (no stops between gas stations)
27.5 to 28 at 75 - 80 Mph. -1 if the AC is running.
Best ever was 32 at high altitude and 50 ish MPH.
Worst 23 at 75 MPH but there was a big head wind.

whitegt500 · Jul 2, 2009

suprisingly stuck the jlt and tuner on my gt 500 and avg. round 23.5 on the HIGHWAY but in town happy to get 15 mpg (manuel 6speed)

Preston951 · Jul 7, 2009

WOOOT! I just went on a 600 mile road trip & have good news.

24mpg freeway!
18mpg city.

That's driving, "regular".

If I drive aggressively (having too much fun haha ) I'll get from 15.5 to 16.5 mpg city.

08 automatic GT with K&N air filter and thats it.

sohcman · Aug 7, 2009

My daily average is around 28.5, which includes 15 minutes of city driving, 60 minutes of highway driving and 15 minutes of seriously mountainous backroads.

The best I ever got was 30.1 on a 60 mile stretch at a blistering 55-60mph.

I will never do that again, just too damn painful...

Oh, and the V6 can run at 100 at a consistant 19.1 mpg

Or so I heard...

Edbert · Aug 11, 2009

My daily ~40 mile commute consists of about 30% light-to-light at about 45 MPH in between, then 40% of bumper-to-bumper "highway" driving from 20-60MPH, then about 30% of clear toll-road driving at 70-85MPH. For four years my mileage was a consistent 21-22 MPG in the 6 months of fall-winter-springtime, then about 20-21 MPG in the 6 months of summer (I live in Texas) due to the AC being on.

I recently replaced the factory unit with a C&L racer CAI, then de-tuned it (timing) to run on 87 Octane and so far (summer only at this time) I am getting a solid 23-23.5 MPG with several tanks, my driving habits have not changed so I'm crediting the CAI for the gain.

+1 on East of LA. Its heaven to be able to set the CC at 80 and let her roll like that for 3 hours.

rodmunera · Aug 17, 2009

2008 Convertible V6 automatic.

overdrive on and TCS on = 200-240 miles to a full tank.
overdrive off TCS off city driving = 140-150 miles to a full tank.

I have a bit of a lead foot.

bluecar · Aug 18, 2009

I'm now at 16,000 miles. I reset the message center. On a flat stretch from Petaluma to the bottom of the Waldo, my high is 24.3 going about 65. Thats on an 87 performance tune from Bama.

4.0 V6 Mileage

I just bought my Stang when I took it on the 45th Anniversary Drive for Mustangs Across America. The most impressive freeway mileage I got was drving out to Las Vegas on Friday night. Lots of crazy drivers, too crowded for cruise control, yet I averaged 29.3 mpg from Barstow to Vegas while hitting speeds up to 95 mph. On the wide open runs across Arizona and New Mexico I was getting 27-29 mpg, and it didn't seem to matter if I was averaging 80-85 mph for long stretches (trying to keep up with all the Shelby and Roush cars). The car was stock at the time (except for my sequential tail lights!)

Now I get 17-18 around town, and it looks like I get about 30 in pure freeway drving (based on a medium length drive last weekend). Pure highway mileage is great at any speed, but any stop and go driving really brings down the average.

I have since installed pullies, and the last 1000 miles or so have seen ~.5 mpg improvement. I seem to be driving more aggressively lately, so I could see someone getting a 1 mpg improvement from these.

Galaxius · Sep 15, 2009

Haven't checked recently, but the overall best that I've gotten is taking a drive down 101 from the Bay Area to LA area, setting cruise control to 70 basically the whole way, and getting around 30 mpg in my v6 manual mustang. Pretty impressive for me. Though I think my best non long trip one was 23 when I was doing a lot of freeway driving.

MeanMike · Sep 15, 2009

1300 miles on mine and was getting 26 highway at 70 to 75 mph.

Vulcan420 · Sep 16, 2009

2007 GT manual - - 100% stock - - leadfoot driver

14 mpg city - - - 20 mpg hwy

In defense of my car's poor mpg I can only say:

I did not buy a GT for good gas mileage but to have fun

and total fuel consumption equals mpg x miles driven and not just mpg.

My GT has less than half the annual gas consumption of my neighbor's 34 mpg econo box because I work locally and put only 7k miles per year on it compared with 36k for him.

So in addition to being waaaaaay more fun my GT is better for the environment : )

Wraith413 · Sep 21, 2009

Averaged 24 mpg on a 270 mile trip to Austin with my new JLT CAI and Brenspeed 93 tune. I'll break 5k on the mileage this week.
