I used to get 10/21 with my 86 and that was driving conservative-ish.......

ok maybe not conservative, it IS a mustang after all [8D]

I get like 10 miles a gallon......but im running a stroker motor, I think you might get 18 to 21 depending on the way you drive and how many miles are on your motor

i used to have an 89 gt with 5 speed and 2.73 gears. the only mods were shorty headers, mac x pipe and catback, bbk cai, and 14 degree timing. when i drove 65 to 70 mph on highway, i got around 25 miles per gallon. i noticed the exhaust mods and full synthetic oil improved the mileage maybe 1 to 2 mpg.
