3v GT vs. 4.0 v6
Whats the differnce in MPG between the two? Right now I have 2 GT's, an 05 and an 01, but the 01 is eclipsing 90,000 miles and I think its about time to get rid of it, now I want something like a little sport compact, well the Wife does, but I might think about getting a 06-07 v6 Stang with a 5spd just to help on gas and to drive to work and stuff and not run the miles up on the GT. Good idea or no? Thanks

~2 mpg.

So basically like 30 extra miles per fill up between the 2? That kinda sucks, either they did agood job of getting the v8 good gas mileage, or a sh*tty job getting the v6 theirs.

RE: 3v GT vs. 4.0 v6
Well it matters on what people say. I've been at car show and asked V8 owners what they get and one said never above 16.9. I have a V6 and got a best of 28.2 on a trip. Recently I got a JBA axleback muffler and actually increased the gas mileage. Was almost 30mpg on a short trip with stop & go/highway. Today I'm going for a nice cruise and get a better reading. Plus I was averaging 290-300 miles per tank. Fillup the other day I got 332 miles per tank. So the JBA helped a bunch. And before I got 360 per tank on a long highway trip, now I'll bet around 400. So I think my V6 does great with MPG. Plenty of power/torque and decent mileage. I'll take my Mustang at 30mpg than a Toyota at 30mpg. All these readings are on the dash with the Message Center which has proven to be accurate.

With my auto, and 3.31 limited slip axle, I just got 29.18 mpg on a test run of all highway at speeds between 55 and 60. The trip computer thingy says I get 20-21 around town but I haven't tested it's accuracy. The highway mpg was figured with paper and pen though so I know it is right. I only have 440 miles on the car now, but these figures are better than I had hoped for.

I can tell you this much, I get no where near 30, and have no mods. Drive 90% highway, ~70mph.. I get like 22. I've seen V6 mpg reporting all over the charts.

With 55K miles on the car and 95% hilly highway driving @ 75 mph I average 26 mpg on the 6er.

2005GT w/20K on the clock w/no mods of yet. I got 28mpg on a ~350 mi trip that was pretty much all highway speed. On adaily basis I drive 28mi one way to work that is mainly highway with a lot of lights (0-60-0 runs) and that combined with some intown driving in the evenings/weekends I get around 20-21mpg.

At speeds of 65-70, my mileage falls off to 24 mpg. 55-60 is the key speed here, but don't get run over doing it. Not a problem up here though. Cops everywhere just looking for speeders. |
