06' Mustang GT Real world MPGs?
Hey everyone,
This is my first post on this thread, so im sorry if this has been posted before.
I am looking into getting a 06' GT at my local auto sales shop and its in great condition and all stock. I dont know what gears it has but it is a 5 speed manual.
I have been debating between the GT and the v6 models because i want to get good gas mileage out of this car. i know that it is a mustang and wont get amazing MPGs but i know my friends 2008 Mustang v6 auto gets like 27 or so on the high way per gallon and city she gets about 19 give or take on how she is driving.
So what do you guys expect me to get for mostly city driving? and then highway driving? Under easy or normal driving conditions, ( not accelerating fast)
thanks in advance for any help you guys may give me!

My 6er has gotten up to 30 but that is all highway. With a tune and my mods, I getting around 26-28 when I running the Premuim tune. Usually around 25 though in the winter.
As far as the GT if you tune it and drive it right I would say you could easily get 25 Highway and 20ish most of the time

Mid 20s for me with 70% highway 30% city. The highest computer estimate I have ever had was on a 120+ mile round trip a few months ago. I had it up to 29.9 by the time I pulled into the garage, it was all highway at 60mph. It was a "perfect storm" of events though, its usually at a solid 25mpg. It was a test to see how I could do on that particular trip, I had a very light foot that night.
Edit: I'm sure it wasn't really 29.9, but even if it was off by a little thats still a darn good fuel economy run.

So what do you guys think i should do? Stick with getting a v6 manual or GT manual...?
I am only 19 and this will be my daily driver in and around town and going to college about 30 minutes away on the highway and 5 minutes through city driving.
Is there a considerable difference in power? I mean i know there is but enough to want to make me get a GT lol
