mine is fairly decent. as Long as you dont run it like steve McQueen, it'll be decent. i think the average is like around 18mpg from what everyone here says. But some sites like auto trader says it gets like 23 mpg

18 city, 23 highway under normal sub-3K shifts

roughly 15 city, 19 highway if I get on it a LOT

most cobras I know get better mileage than their GT counterparts, due to the fact that the aluminum block makes it's power much more efficiently than the GT's

I'm usually the same mpg as snaker. 19-20mpg for me with the same rev numbers.
