OK I dont see this question anywhere so here goes. I am just curious what kind of gas milage we are all getting. I have been running a steady 19.3 MPG on regular, but with my last tank Im now at a steady 20.3. I have a stock Torch Red( the fastest color by the way).I have never had any other Mustangs before, never had any sort of performance car actually, mainly just trucks and junk. I read about all the engine mods everyones doing , but with regular gas hitting $2.30 a gallon average across the country, I cant see how I can afford to mess with that kind of gas millage on regular. I mean 20.3 MPG on regular with 300 hp is pretty dang awsome to me

I can't get higher than 18mpg average (on a tank) on mine. That's with the 91 octane tune, and an equal amount of freeway/street driving.

acadian

17-18 MPG in the city. 87 octane gas, and I drive it hard.

frdtch05gt

18-19mpg on average, plenty of highway driving with some city mixed in too. I drive it nice on the street then wail on it at the dragstrip.

TURBO 05

i live in Los Angeles and drive almost all in traffic and get 11-12 mpg if i am lucky in the city. On the hwy when i travel i get 25+ mpg.

HAHA I've only had my car since Friday, only 148 miles on it and avg 13.3 MPG No mods but ALOT of quailty time... drving like I stole it. Anyways I expect it should go up when I let up. Not sure if the red is "faster" but Silver sure is Quicker.

Between city and highway driving, I am averaging around 17 mpg in Los Angeles. My mileage is awful on city streets, probably around 13-14 mpg, 15 if I baby it.

RRRoamer

I'm right at 19.0 mpg with pretty much all city driving. Pure highway (at 80mph or so) comes in at 24+ mpg. I'm sure my milage would go up if I kept my foot out of the silly thing...

rhoover2

I am getting about 21 avg. with about 70% highway averaging 75 to 80 mph. I have a daily commute of 31 miles one way.

Adrenal

18.4 MPG. over the first 850 miles. I'm sure it could be higher, but I haven't been able to train my right foot yet.

RMac

getting around 18 in the city, 23 highway. about 3500 miles on her.

I'm getting right at 20.1 MPGs overall for the past 1900 miles (20.6 for the past 500 miles or so). I don't drive it hard, get on it just every now and then and only briefly; usually try to drive it steady and efficiently.

I'm content just knowing that I have all the power I need whenever I want it (and more power than most cars on the road today---not too many cranking 300 HP these days). Sort of like the black belt in karate who never gets in a fight, b/c he knows he can kick butt so he doesn't have to prove it to anyone....

96vert

22.1 currently (last 3 fill-ups). That's some spirited driving, some highway driving (I usually get around 25 on the highway, going 75 MPH. This is without the HCT and with a K&N drop-in filter.

Also, I filled up today at $1.90 (prices maybe on the way back down?)

maucoin65

Where are you located with gas at $1.90? It's still $2.099 at the discount places around New Orleans.

Well looks like most of us are getting prewtty good gas milage in the 18 - 20 mpg range. I thinks thats pretty dang good for 300 hp . I guess we all have a similar problem we want the good mpg, have to keep out of the pedal, but when I head for the on ramp, I hit the gas, in 3rd or 4th , 30 to 80 in seconds , 50000 rpm , time to up shift and slow down. But its so dang fun and sounds soo good!! One day coming home I did that and a yellow Mustang way back in traffic saw me , he came from way back, I was doing like 78 so he was hauling **** way faster to catch me, he came up beside me I guess for a look over, then took the next exit. :worship:

adrenalin

I swear there is another topic out there asking people to vote on what mileage they get. Anyway, I average 24 MPG

adrenalin

Forgot to mention, the poll stops at 21 mpg

harleybill

My display keeps showing around 14.8 and I don't think I am getting on it "THAT" much. Of course I have done no highway driving to bring the average up. It's still in the break-in period as well so hopefully the miles will start to come as the weather gets nicer here. No engine mods as of yet.

Arioch

Be sure to reset your MPG counter... no telling what they were doing with it before the car got to you.

Averaging 14.2 MPG right now on premium gas at an average speed of about 24 MPH. No engine mods, and I'm not stomping on it THAT much. Lots of stop and go California traffic, even on the freeways, and the occasional late-night high-speed highway sprints.

acadian

I see that the starter of this poll put 14 MPG with premium fuel and mods. Do you actually get worse mileage with 93 octane than with 87?
