I have a 2005 Mustang V-6 5 speed and after a trip down and around St Louis this evening I get this.



After 77,850 miles I can still pull 30mpg on the highway! Might not sound like much to some but it made my night.

Good job Yeah it is easy to get 30+mpg in a GT, but those 4.0 suck for gas milage and the fact that you can get 30 is pretty good!

Actually I've seen 34mpg on mine but the trick is speed so to get that it is 55mph and at 65 Ive gotten 31 and both no a/c.

All I did was put gas in it, then drive on the interstate at 70mph and then I drove around st louis, then I filled up the take, and that is when I took the picture. I have no idea how you pull off 30mpg in a GT

I'm lucky if I get over 260 miles (400kms) to a tank @ 50/50 mixed driving. I goose it here and there, skip shift 1/2 the time. I'm used to it due to owning V8s all my life, but it kills me when I hear GT's getting like 400 miles to a tank...............
