Guess I am either blind and my search feature doesn't work but that article is just about a GT, not a GT-500. Oh, and ya, it is easy to get 25mpg in these cars. I am averaging 26MPG.

 

Quote from the article
"Morgan, at the urging of his wife, has been working more than a year on improving the mileage on his high-performance Mustang GT".

 

heck, my GT averages 21 in city and a little bit of highway driving.

This is Where the Link Came From

 

FYI,

I average 19 Mpg on my 60 Mile Daily Commute. Mostly 80% Highway 20% City Drive. And That is with a C&L Intake / sct 3 Bama Chips Tune. 07 Gt-500

kc

 

Not the same monster but a guy who swapped a 5.4 3V in his S197 was getting 26Mpg and got less when he had the V6.

 

Hum...

Getting 25 miles per gallon with a GT500 doesn't seem that far fetched to me. I routinely get over 22 miles per gallon on the highway with mine and that is normal driving, not hypermileing?

 

black gt500- you better take er straight to a Ford dealer for warranty work. You have no oil presssure! LOL and 1800 rpm at 65 mph? hmmmmmm don't think so

 

Oil is the bottom right. Top right is boost. RPM's for 3.31 in 6th seem the same as mine too.

 

You all make my 2v feel inadequate

 

oppps ! my bad. It is boost and I forgot its a 6 speed. Ill shut up now lol

 

65 @ ~1750 RPM matches my spreadsheet calculation for TR-6060 w/ 18" GT500 wheels and 3.31 rear gears. 60 MPH should translate to roughly 1600 RPM.

With my TR-3650, 3.55s, and stock 17" tires, the GT engine churns at 1800 RPM at 60 MPH. I wish I didn't opt for the $87 3.55 gas guzzling gears.

My GT can get 23 MPG with mixed highway/city driving. In the same driving schedule, my Crown Vic gets 18-19 MPG (again, due to the gas guzzling 3.55s).

 

Hold on, 535rwhp with th stock supercharger???? Did anybody else see that?

 

Yes, I think it is a mistake in this ad.

However, a CAI and tune with no other changes is garnering 30-40+ RWHP on the GT500.
