At WOT I get about 3mpg, so 15 miles.

Most Arab countries hate Israel so I would dare say he is pay just as much if not more.

Anyhow, You dont buy a Mustang for fuel milage you buy it for the experience. If you only driving 30 miles a day I would say you would fill up at the very most 2 times a week. I got a 4.0L sixer and I filll up once a week from half a tank. I drive 20 miles a day plus a little extra on weekends or days off.

I would go with the V8 because if you get the six you will be wanting the 8 trust me. A little more pain at the pump and a lot more pleasure from the loud pedal.

I think the guys around here are getting a little picky today, I guess its been a bad week, I know it sure as heck was for me. Just chill out fellas he is trying to get into the crowd so dont run the guy off with the smart stuff

You're in or near a big city. Don't count on getting any more than the EPA city estimate. I'd plan on getting a couple mpg less, as the EPA estimate is at best based on an average car and yours could be either a little better or slightly worse.

Especially in the beginning, keep track of what the fuel gauge and distance to empty readout are showing. Eventually you'll either develop your own internal "feel" for how much further you can go or you'll just fill up again when the car hits 1/4 tank.


That thing about variables . . . another one of these is when you're comparing two slightly different versions of the same car. You'd tend to drive them about the same way most of the time, and you'll just use more throttle with a sixxer to do so.


And there is one other thing - fuel is what keeps the fuel pump cool (and a cool fuel pump has a better shot at having a long and trouble-free life), so it's best to not run the car too close to bone-dry empty very many times.
