Grabber523 · March 24th, 2008, 09:43 PM

(and a slight tail wind...and 1 piece DS)

Tiller88 · March 24th, 2008, 09:48 PM

no way....

Grabber523 · March 24th, 2008, 09:53 PM

260 miles from Sioux Falls SD to Northwood ND...that's what I got today. That's with 2 bathroom stops and a trip through Mc Donalds drive through. I couldn't believe it either, but when I filled it I did the math and it came out to over 23 m.p.g.

05mustang_kb_charged · March 24th, 2008, 10:29 PM

I got 25.2-25.5 with 9 psi. and 3.55's cruising at 75 mph

You guys need to learn how to drive. You should be getting about 8-10 mpg.

I can't seem to get more than 16 and change, I guess the vert/weight issue with mine probably doesn't help me out though.

It's about what I get now, maybe just a bit more. I'll see this Friday for sure, Beaumont to Wichita Falls, about 425 miles. (3.73's and 11psi)

06VistaGT · March 25th, 2008, 01:16 PM

Wow, thats some good mileage.

06RedfireGT · March 25th, 2008, 01:23 PM

Yup, why buy an import for gas milage. These things get awesome fuel economy.

WILD Jeff · March 25th, 2008, 01:25 PM

Do all 05-08 GT's have that MPG built in? I didn't think I had it but maybe never checked.. haha

stanglifemike · March 25th, 2008, 01:47 PM

1BADSTANG · March 25th, 2008, 03:34 PM

stanglifemike · March 25th, 2008, 04:34 PM

Well it appears so, I know my Bama tune increased mine.

No, it's an upgrade. My personal car has it but the work demo doesn't.

I've hit 30 with mine on back roads taking it easy, and routinely got 27-28 @ 75 mph with the 91 torque tune. I'm down to around 24-25 with the race tune on 94 octane from Sunoco.

droppedbass87 · March 26th, 2008, 06:53 PM
