2015 Mustang Fuel Economy Leaked

Not really shocked about the ecoboost numbers, but the v6 dropping below 30 is strange since its essentially the same setup.

This is utter BS. I have a 2014 V6 and it gets the exact same MPG as the 2015 ecoboost. But suddenly when Ford needs to tout their precious new ecoboost they drop the mpg on the V6 by 5 mpg? FAIL!
I have never averaged less than 21 to 22 mpg in mixed driving with my V6 and highway mpg averages 28 to 30.
So what was the point in developing the ecoboost? It gets the same MPG as the V6 it was touted to be oh so much better than. I knew when Ford released the HP numbers but not the MPG numbers that something was fishy. They had spent way too much time hyping the fuel efficiency of the ecoboost. Suddenly NOT! On top of that we still haven't seen any real world performance numbers. In the end I wouldn't be surprised if what you end up with in the ecoboost is a car that gets the same mpg and the same performance numbers as the 2014 V6. But hey, it's an "ecoboost" so that means you should be only to happy to pay more money for it.

We'll see. Frankly the fact that we haven't seen any official performance numbers yet has raised a red flag for me just like the flag that went up when they announced the hp numbers but not the mpg numbers.

I have a 2012 V6 and can easily get 36 MPG at 65 MPH on a flat freeway. That kind of economy only started happening recently, around 25K miles.

Fords new Montra is EcoBoast. Well they want to see alot of the 4 Cylinders sold for that purpose. CAFE ratings. That will offset there truck and SUV sales.
Also You will find that IRS has more drive line loss to it.
In manufacturing the final looks and specs come from the marketing group. You will never know what or why they do what they do!!
Stay tuned.

There's such a dichotomy of thinking towards these cars. It's a classic american car...designed to appeal to Europeans. It's a corporate front end...but it doesn't look like a Fusion. It's a thoroughly modern design...but look at these tail lights from from a '69 and the grill from a Shelby. It's all about CAFE requirements...but it's heavier than the outgoing model.

I have a GT and a V6 Pony Package and love them both. Ford did a great job with the V6 as stated with the gas mileage and performance. I would hate not to have the option for the 6. Hey the 5.0 is awesome. OH a word about DI

Yeah, I do a lot of spirited driving as well as mixed Highway/City driving and average 10L/100KM (28MPG) or better.

I could get a 100 mpg's if I coasted and pushed it but where's the fun in that? :-)
