Congrats on the mileage It must have taken a little planning to get it right. I can just see myself stopping in the middle of I-95 to take a picture of the dash . . . . . . but officer, you don't understand . . .

Actually, as an appraiser, I always have a camera in the car. I actually took that shot in the driveway of my parents house...I only had to pass the house and make u-turn to get it at exactly 2005 miles B) ! I wanted to accomplish three things with this post:
  • 1) How cool is it to get a pic. of your 2005 GT with 2005 miles just into the year 2005
  • 2) To show an example of the kind of mileage to expect in a GT once broken in
  • 3) To let everyone know I love my car and it has zero problems to date!
...can I get a bananna!!

What's the 72.8?


Nice odometer reading, too. 2005.0 for your 2005 Mustang.

B) shift really low with a manual


Good job!

I believe that's the trip odometer. I have an idea that I am gonna do, time it just right to get the mileage on the car to read 2005.0 and the trip to read 4.6.

Let me say, anything beyond 15MPG with this car....being a 300HP "Sports Car" is amazing!

My F-150 Supercrew gets 14, my winter car, 1999 Grand Prix V-6 gets 19, and my old 1972 Chevelle SS 396 gets 8

So, I am very pleased with the MPG from this car!!!

Mike
