Talking to a couple of service guys and knowing from past experience, generally the gas mileage increases a little after the break in period but not a whole lot. If you are getting 14 mpg during the break in period I wouldn't expect more than 16 mpg afterwards.

2400 miles and going. My last fill up netted me 19.1 mpg combined. My 03 GT Vert averaged 18.53 mpg before the K&N and 23.66 after.
Cannot wait to get a K&N for the 05.
BTW, I hammer my car. I drive it as fast as I can. The last tank was the 4th tank on my BFG GForce 255/50/R17s. So the wider tire may have cut MPG a tad.

My second tank of gas is getting about 14MPG...city driving. My 99 GT Vert got 18.

But seriously for me, a car that looks this good, I won't sweat the MPG. All the best to you

I'm sold on the K&N. My 03 GT Vert made 20 percent better overall combined milage after the swap. I'm happy that my 05 gets 1mpg better than the 03 b4 the swap too. Since the car is less areodynamic and has more hp.

Badandy i drive my Mustang to work and back the distance is about 34 km this is all city driving with a lot of time spent idling at traffic lights. I figure i average around 300 km per tank of gas does your commute have a mix of highway and city and how often are you laying into her?
