I'm going on 5000 miles now and I get between 18 and 20 mpg with mostly city driving. On the interstate I get 23-26 mpg with the AC on.

I forgot one thing. . .If you're thinking of buying a GT, you can't really expect to get great mileage. I'm sure I'd get better mileage if I didn't use WOT so much, but it's just too damn much fun!!!

so does that mean that you actually get better mileage with a blower?! Woo hoo! Just another reason to add to the list of why thats the only thing I want for
Christmas!

p.s. I only drive in the city recently and its a bit worse than 15 mpg for me []

My computer says 20.2 average mpg right now. Highway recently I was looking at 28+, and city about 20 + or -. Do it, you won't regret it...

I'm seeing about 14.7 MPG with mostly City driving.

You guys getting 18-20 city how do you shift? I'm going 2nd-4th moderate throttle usually no more than 3300 RPMs.
