I have a 2016 Mustang GT Premium with about 3,000 miles on it so far. Last week, I managed to get 10.9 MPG according to the car. I verified it when I filled up.

My commute is typically 80% city driving and I shift around 3,000 RPM's. I do drive it hard occasionally when space allows. I'm in California and stuck in traffic on my way to work and home most of the time.

I'm currently averaging around 12 MPG, does this seem normal and what has been your lowest MPG average?

Thanks!

From my experience with previous GTs, I opted for the turbo 4. 12 mpg n town was common. With the turbo 4 it is double that and up to 34 n the highway. It also,has enough power to make me smile.

It's only an inch or two. What's the big deal?

I average 20.5 mpg normal commuting on Summer fuel with a GT PP. (6spd/3.73) I have had as high as 25.4 mpg on a long road trip and as low as 5.4 on the road course.

Man, I thought the coyote's were a lot better on fuel than this. Were they this bad in the old S197 chassis?

Jeez the worst Ive had is 15 mpg and that's with off road headers and exhaust. That's city driving too. Usually my city driving is 18-19 though.
