I would guess the mpg's with normal driving would be about 1 mpg. Good question. I hope some one chimes in that has done the switch.

Stock 05 GT manual - 80% highway, 20% city even though some of the highway mileage with the congestion around Baltimore, MD feels like city stop & go
Since new (5/25/2005) - 11488.2 miles / 451.57 gals = 25.441 MPG
last tank - 382.9 miles / 14.293 gals = 26.789 MPG
Seems to get the best gas mile @ 69 MPH on cruise control

Bone stock 06 GT Manual, 3.55 gears, 1200 miles on the odo.
21.8 MPG in my daily work commute which is straight city driving, no highway. The commute is about 10 miles each way with around 10 stop lights or so. The traffic can be pretty heavy and includes a lot of time idling.
On the highway I've gotten 31 MPG at 65 MPH; 28-29 MPG at 69-70 MPH; and 26 MPG at 75 MPH.
One thing I've noticed about this car is that it takes a very large MPG hit during the warmup phase. Until the temp gage hits mid-point my MPG will slowly erode.

I've got 24000 miles on my car. I haven't reset the computer for mpg in over a year and it's slowly crept up to 18.3 mpg. I average about 20 miles a day city driving. I also make 6 to 15 1/8th mile runs on Fridays during the season.

I wonder how many of our mpg's are off due to our speedo reading incorrectly??

05 GT Vert with Auto
I live in a fairly rural area. Driving 11 miles to work each day - average about 21-21 mppg with a best of 23
On a long trip from Wisconsin to Denver, we averaged 24 mpg @ 75-80mph cruising speed (ok - maybe 80-85)
I run Motorcraft 5W-20 synthetic blend - I think I would do better with pure synthetic like Mobil 1 or Amsoil

06 GT 5 speed. Mixed Hiway, local w/air on I am at 23-24 mpg. With no air I am at 27-28 mpg. That's going to and from work, normal driving. If I want to have fun than I don't care about milage.

On the other hand if you check the odometer you'll most likely find that it is very accurate.
