GT Gas Mileage, please chime in.

Just curious about what others are getting for gas mileage. I'm getting about 19.8. I'm driving about 35 miles per day @ about 60-65mph on rural roads, little heavy acceleration, normal drive mode. Thanks for any contributions!

I average around 20 with 1100 miles on the 2016 now which is roughly the same as I was getting in the 2012. I only run 93 octane in it.

I rarely pay attention to gas mileage, nor am I concerned with the cost of fuel at the pump. I knew what the price of admission was going to be when I got my GT, and it's driven as often as possible, completely free of worry about consumption.

I am happy with my mileage . It usually averages around 23-24 mpg and has just turned over 2000 miles. I only let it go when merging on to highways ,it's great to leave the approaching traffic in the dust !

I didn't ask whether you care about fuel economy or not. I asked about the MPG others are getting.

I have 1700 miles on my '15 GT, and I am averaging 23-24 as well on 93 octane. I definitely do my share of "spirited" driving!

I agree colt breaker's comment was rude and unnecessary!

That was rude.

I'm glad to see other folks were willing to reply with helpful info. Let's stick to the facts, please.

That seems pretty good. With my cruise set at 72mph, I was up to 26mpg for a while, but then we hit the city limits and that changed pretty quickly.

I don't think I've cracked 16 mpg yet in 650 miles of driving. Course, I've only done about 60 of those miles on the highway. Most of what I get is right around 14.

I don't do much freeway driving, plus I have a heavy right foot. My average is sitting at 16.5 mpg currently.

That makes me a little jealous, but it's good to know it's possible to get decent mileage with a blower. Thanks for the info!

Just took a trip to Orlando and back from Ft. Lauderdale, never cracked 22 mpg. Course, this is all by the trip computer, so it's not as accurate as checking a receipt against your odometer.
