Gas Mileage?

oldernewbie · July 23rd, 2006, 07:40 AM

I recently turned 1000 miles on my '06 Gt and the best mileage I'm getting so far 20.9 MPG. Shes a 5 speed manual and thats with fairly conservative takeoffs and mostly highway miles, 55-65 Mph and air conditioning.

Will this improve some or is that what I can expect?

Thanks

Sticker gas mileage also is tested in a very controlled condition. So it will almost never match.

Milner62 · August 11th, 2006, 04:32 AM

I have yet to see a car get what the sticker said. But I have gotten better than sticker on my daily driver once, but that was driving like a senior citizen from the redlights and not going over 1500 rpm from a stand still. But I was putting down an Avg of 20.7 mpg and that was only city driving and the sticker listed 13 city 18 avg, and 20 highway.

Just wait for your Mustang to break in. It will have more power and get better mpg. How much better, not sure.

I HAVE AN 01 GT CONVERTABLE AND THE ABSOLUTE BEST HIGHWAY MILEAGE I CAN GET IS 22M.P.G. AROUND TOWN IT WILL GET 16 TO 18 M.P.G. WHEN I'M PLAYING IT TURNS TO GALLONS PER MILE!

Milner62 · August 15th, 2006, 08:50 PM

The absolute worse ive got on my daily driver and thats punching the gas to 2000 and 2500 rpm from every redlight and i still get no worse than 11.5 MPG.

Don't fill to bad, a train gets gallons per the mile

orangeRcode · August 16th, 2006, 09:06 AM

I got around 26 mph on the highway running 75 mph when my Mach had stock gears. I now have most bolt-ons and 4.10 gears and get around 18 mpg which is mostly in town spirited driving.

Now why would one worry about something so silly as gas milage. I'd walk all week so I could ride on the weekend.... and did so many times as a kid. And that was when gas was 29 cents a gal for the good stuff. Had a 67 GT with a 390 in it. passed everthing but a gas station W.P.

B0mb3r645 · August 21st, 2006, 12:47 AM

Damn, I only remember gas at 1.30. Glad I always have gas money tho.

turp · August 21st, 2006, 12:51 AM

LOL I remember digging through the couches so I could get a gallon of gas for the three wheeler. (Gas was $.75 a gallon then)

Milner62 · August 22nd, 2006, 01:34 PM

Gas has been going down round here, Was paying 3.08 a gallon now im paying 2.76 agallon for 89 octane. So im getting more gas for less money now so im driving more now lol. But before i can drive i have to replace my pressure powersteering hose when i bump the steering stops the hose sprays fluid everywheres.

Seems like my post got a little highjacked but, on the subject of prices I paid $2.64 for Reg. in my work truck this Morn. My weekend marauder is up to 21.6 according to the readout....sweet!

Milner62 · August 22nd, 2006, 09:13 PM

Im nto too concerned with gas milage. Im building the engine up but even though im upgrading to a 600 - 650 4bbl carb i shouldnt drop below 11 mpg avg city since im keeping the stock rearend

I've got an 06 Mustang GT and I get 25 MPG on the highway but I do alot of city driving so I usually average around 19 MPG per tank.

Filled up last week at 2.49 a gallon

stangliter04 · September 6th, 2006, 05:46 PM

I just got 18 miles to the gallon this last fill up and I had some pretty hard driving...

The eaglenator · October 9th, 2006, 03:37 PM

My 00 GT V8 runs 17.6 miles per gal. I use premium gas so it gets a little expensive but nothings to good for my mustang.
