$10 = 3.3 gallons (@ $3.00 per gallon)

15 (mpg) X 3.3 = 49.5 miles for $10

average driver, drives about 30 miles a day

gas prices are making it almost impossible to drive my mustang

a 5 speed with 2.73's will get the best mileage.

i have an auto with 3.27's so i get ****ty mileage

My winter car is a 96 monte carlo and I get 24 to 26 with that one being nice, so 22 with my stang is great for me. It really isn't costing that much more for gas in relitive terms anyways, so maybe $10 to $15 more a week...who cares, if you can't afford that, you shouldn't drive a mustang....
