i wish mine got that much. i kind of find that hard to believe also. i got an 2007 gt with 5000 miles on it. i get 19 in the city(thats taking it easy shiftingevery gear at 2000rpm) and 25-26 on the interstate with the cruise set at 75mph

You're right there already. You get 25-26 at 75 mph. Drop it down another 15-20 mph and see what you get. My engine turns 2000 rpms at 70 mph.

I miss this one completely. You pay $26K for a V8 GT, and then worry about the mileage? You could have bought a Focus, for half the price and achieved even higher MPG. BTW, I don't believe for one second that a 4.6 GT can achieve 27 MPG during everyday driving. Besides, the fact that it requires fuel to manufacture horsepower, the idea that one can actually consistantly operate the throttle without "letting her loose" a few times a tank full is inconcievable. Then again, BS is what makes the world go round.

But I do agree with you.

I have seen several post of 32 mpg. I was one of them a couple weeks ago. I was driving to an out of town B Ball game and the total one way distance was 95 miles. I got 32 mpg on the leg going there and 26 on the way back. The loss in elevation going was 2500 feet.

o well. i will never see that. ha. i dont like the way you have to drive to get 19mpg in the city and 26 on the interstate. its a mustang you shouldnt worry about the mpg you get if you are you should buy a 4cyl. car. i just wanted to see what it would do once. and that was enough haha

Are you guys relying onthe info center from your dash?
Because it's way off on my car[&:].
I do the numbers when I refill.
That 32mpg is surrealistic with my car, even at 65mph.[8D]24 is the most I get.
Anyway, if I want performance and gas mileage combined, I'll by a fastmotorcycle.
But then again, I will loose my license.
