I wouldn't recommend a camry, Consumer Reports has removed them from their recommended list due to quality issues. And the gas mileage isn't much better than our cars, 19/28.. few more miles means you might get an extra 30-40 miles per tank but its a totally different car. (and that is if you take the sticker of 15/23 on our cars)

On the other hand. Mustangs are on the Consumer Reports recommended list for quality and safety.

Its carzy but yes, I got 14 city when I just had the cai/tune from bama. After my s/c install I got 19 city 27-28 highway and thats driving my car even harder with the s/c. I'm thinking its in the tune or my gt-500 pumps or somethingWhats also weird is my tuner said he mademy tune a little rich so IDK..

http://www.edmunds.com/new/index.htm...FQslHgodOwZqrw Ya, I think ur right about consumer report. However, I think the 07 or 06 got great ratings, either way. Im thinking 250k miles and highway; I would look more into a 4cyc

29 * 14= 406 23* 14= 322 That’s 84 extra miles or about extra 3 gallons of gas.

Lets take the avg of 12,000 miles driven a year and that’s

12,000/29= 413.79@ $3.00=$1241.37

12,000/23=521.74@ $3.00=1565.22

This is where it gets fun; lets do 4 and 5 bucks

413.79@ $4.00=1655.16 521.74@ 4.00= 2086.96 That’s 431 bucks

413.79@ $5.00=2068.95 521.74@ $5.00=2608.7

That’s almost 600 bucks a year in GAS. & the way I drive my stang and I think the way he’ll drive it; it’ll be a lot more. I LOVE MY STANG; but I don’t know if its right for him. I’m mad I all ready have 30k miles on it...lol, but 250k….

I get 19-20 mpg with a mix of 30% city and 70% highway. If you are doing 95% highway driving and keep on your maint. I believe you can get 250K out of a mustang however you will paymore in gas no question.

Folks on this forum love these cars so they don't really care about the extra gas it burns and we all think they are easy to work on for the most part.

I just got my car last week, but I have seen as high as 27.5 mpg on the highway (computer reading)when driving conservatively. My combined cycle has averaged 20.5 mpg (two tanks).

I am having the dealer install a Steeda CAI/tune, underdrive pulleys, and an aluminum driveshaft next week. All of these items are supposed to improve gas mileage as well as performance. I will report back my results.

I have a strictly stock '07 GT/CS and I usually get around 17-18 around town and 21 town/hwy. I also believe the brand of gas you get also contributes. I got gas from the local BJ's and my MPG went down to 13 !!!!! Last time I got gas there. I have not done a complete hwy trip yet but want to see what it does.
The gas may be costly but the love of the ride & Mustang feeling is well worth it to me.

Mine is daily driver, get average of 18-19 MPG. 80% or so of my miles are on interstate. Got 28K on her and she's only been to shop once for backseat plastic interior panel wasn't installed correctly at factory. Also had the infamous bell housing rattle (only when cold) and a rattle in drivers side A-pillar. Love it, even after 2 1/2 years.

Thanks everyone!!! I do 800-1400 miles/week... I spend~ 300$/month on gas in my 33mpg Corolla I can imagine my bill with 8 cyl Stang Well, I still like it! ( Will probably keep Rolla too )

Sonic, do you take the amount of gallons that the pump reads and then divide your miles by that, or are you going by your cars computer? The computer calculation is probably messed up now that you have many new fuel system components.
