Just back from an 1100 mile round trip, from Salisbury, MD to Anderson, SC, to visit my mother.
My GT500 performed flawlessly. :)
It was very comfortable, even after 10 hours of driving.
I still haven't burned any oil after 2500 miles.
Averaged around 21 miles per gallon.
The OEM tires were great, even in monsoon rains that had other vehicles spinning off the road.

Nice to see you are one of the few who are actually using their GT500  What was your average speed? I would think 21mpg on the highway is on the low side after seeing what some other high powered 05+ stangs get.

I was cruising at 70+ mph and I only have 2500 miles on the engine. So, I was very happy with 21 mpg avg. :)

21 not bad for a 5.4 L two ton car.

You are lucky. It's a very nice town. :)
