Because I'm driving the SNOT out of this beast!!

Just really enjoying my stang, and wanted to let the folks at Ford know (since they read here) I think they've done a great job.

That is all.

 

+1. I love my 5.0L way too much to worry about the gas guage.

 

Hell yeah

 

This car has a gas gauge? I thought it just Chimes when she's thirsty.

 

Sup Brian! What's the best 1/4 you've run in your 5.0? Is it as fast as your last GT was?

 

What MPG are you getting during fun time?

 

You know, I haven't even checked. But I will on my way home. I'm gonna guess around 17mpg. I'm on the highway about 65% of the time. But I definitely don't save any fuel on a clear onramp LOL

 

27mpg @55 on highway... lasted about 1 day.. now i am down to 20mpg.. much funner at 20mph..

I can get 20mpg at BEST out of my GT500 with strictly highway cruising.

 

I try to keep all my cars snotless!

17-ish mpg around town (having fun), 25-ish mpg highway. (straight n' level cruising)

 

Strange. I'm only getting about 13mpg at probably 60% stop n go. And Ive probably only chirpped the tires 3-4 times since I've bought it. 800 miles on it ATM.

12 gt premium.

 

I think it gets better once you get it broken in. I know it gets louder. Right around 1500 miles my car woke up sound-wise with stock exhaust. On the computer mine was right around 13-14MPG too.

 

I drove my 5.0 like she wants to be driven last week! Never got below 80 for about 190 miles? When got behind a slow poke, passed, & then cruised to @ least 120? I had like 210 miles on that tank. I got 24.2 MPG. The faster I go, better gas mileage I got!! Yes, our cars are the best!!

 

Gotta love that.

Faster = Better MPG = Bigger Smile

 

I checked on the way home. I had never reset the car's trip comp since I bought and at 12k it said I was getting 17.1 MPG. For the drive home I got 19.2mpg. Some stop and go, but a lot of crusing @80 in 6th..

 

I get similar MPG, mostly city. I've got 12000 miles on my car now .

 

Took me about 24 miles to find that reset button! I was getting like 17, which was still OK w/me. Once I pressed it, it really impressed me!!

 

Great posts! I LOVE my car too!! Sooo much fun to drive!

I've gotten between 16-20 mpg on the 4 or 5 tanks so far. I'm probably 60-80% highway depending on the tank but I've got about 5 miles of country roads to get to the highway with a couple stops and some nice turns, so I get on it and rip through 1st, 2nd, & 3rd at least twice a day every time I drive it. It's just toooo **** hard to resist!

 

My mpg driving it the fun away around town is about 18.5. If I drive it like Miss Daisy, I can get it up to about 22 in town though. However, the SMG (smiles per gallon) are much more fun at 18.5!
