AGREED.

 

Yep, I'm right there with you. Filled my diesel Excursion last week and it was $180. YIKES!!!

 

Yup, you know the pain!

 

Come on now, we gotta pay for his lifestyle of Jets and _______!!

 

If the Boss gets 26 mpg and you can use reg. gas, and need a new car, what would a person do other than enjoy the car for a little extra costs per week. If the value of the car holds up better than a std. model of other type, it may be cost effective to drive the Boss??? I would not suggest reg. gas all the time, but for communiting it would be a real cost saver if prem. was a lot more money! Ford's tune allows reg. gas to be used.

 

I'm not happy about paying $4 a gallon for gas, but if I really wanted to save money...I'd take my foot off the floor everytime I drive. According to my dash readout, I think I average about 16 mpg on a tank. And like someone else mentioned...I've sat in a bar listening to someone *****ing about the price of gas...as we're blowing $60+ each, 3 or 4 times a week on alcohol. If gas is *really* what's not leaving you any money to put food on the table, then, by all means, rethink and buy a hybrid.

 

That wasn't a Boss. I avg 17 -18 mpg driving 60/40 city/highway. If your drive is mostly highway expect mpg in the low 20s

 

What was it ??

 

I'll admit, next week when I put the Marauder back on the road, I'll be driving it a lot more this summer than my truck. 22mpg vs 15mpg, that's a 50% improvement.

The boss, like my other mustangs, will be a weekend driver / cruise night / occasional open track car.

 

chair doesnt look all that comfy.and why does the TV face AWAY from him? I'd be pissed.

whats up with the golden **** and **** buckets next to his chair?

 

Only Mustang owners know the truth.

 

I'm not going to let gas prices sway me in the least.

I bought this car to enjoy it. I've heard too many stories from people who regretted selling a car for whatever reason, one of the common stories is for fuel economy/gas prices.

This one is a keeper.

 

There is a simple solution. We should petition Ford for a green key.

 

For my first two tanks of mixed but mostly highway driving I averaged 24.75 MPG. I calculated the old fashioned way buy using the gas receipt and writing down mileage on each receipt. I was with the dealer when the first tank was put in...

 

The new B302 gets better gas mileage than my Toyota Tundra (15.5 avg) and the RS4 I sold last fall (18 avg)

 

ACE has a very nice V6 Mustang with Boss stripe package. His mileage was for the V6 not a Boss V8

 

If you drive your Boss 10,000 miles per year (most people won't) which is what I put on my Mustang between Apr-Nov as a daily driver, and you get 15 mpg driving like I typically do, you're going to use 666.67 gallons per year. If gas goes up $2 (from $4 to $6) it's going to cost you $1333 per year or $25 per week additional over the amount it was going to cost you if gas doesn't go up at all (or down more likely)

There's almost zero chance gas gets to $6 or above for any length of time as consumers will adjust their consumption and the price will fall. We hit the wall last time at $5. As far as prices other countries pay, it has nothing to do with the cost of fuel for them and is largely due to huge taxes imposed by their governments. With gas prices at historic highs and our economy still on weak footing, raising taxes will be difficult at best.

 

You didn't mean me, did you? The pix from my post in this thread was from the wife's '11 GT, and obviously not a Boss as shown by the extra 2 gauges in the pod. If I'm mistaken about the ACE reference, my apologies... But it's kind of confusing with the various quoting from multiple posters.

Here is 1.65€/liter. If I'm not wrong is 8.9$ per gallon.

(1 Gallon = 4.54 liter, 1€ = 1.19$)

 

Haha, just got a notification to this thread which is 10 years old. Sure wish I still owned that Boss.
