Just got back to Iowa from a trip to Texas. Took our 2010 GT and averaged just a tad over 25MPG on the whole trip. A/C was on most of the time and speed average was 75MPH. Filling up at various stations MPG was from 27.5 to a low of 22. Very impressed with the car on an extended trip. Any mods to improve gas mileage for our return trip to to Texas ( we are gonna be winter Texans now)
Thanks

I doubt many people here mod their GT's for fuel mileage.

Click to expand...

I'd say if gas mileage is the issue, the best mod would be to trade it in for a Prius myself, i would think anyone should be impressed when driving a v8 and being able to push 25mpg...

Havent done this on my 06 yet but when I added a Bassani X-pipe
with straight thru Magnaflow mufflers on my 04, I got a 2 mpg improvement.
