gas milleage
#12
I picked up a stock 2006 GT convertible 5 spd with 27K miles on it in Tampa yesterday and drove back to TN on the interstate (up hill all the way). Averaged 26 mpg at 70 mph and 28+ mpg at 60 mph, calculated (with top up).

If i reset the comp when i get on the highway, and look at it when i get close to my school. Thats cruising at 60 mph with only 1 stop, its right around 32 mpg. Then, when i get into the town at my school, it drops to 22 ish. With work and school driving ill stay around 20

This is true for the vast majority of owners and not just Stangs. The only way to get an accurate value is to hand calculate, pump-to-pump fill-ups. Resetting the computer at the pump after you fill-up will also help you determine if there's something amiss, if nothing else.
Also, resetting the computer while cruising does NOT give you a true indication of your average MPG. But if it really gets you excited, shut your engine off while cruising and feel free to brag that you get infinite MPG.

My driving is pretty much 50% city/50% hwy. According to the computer which has not been reset in close to 9 months... I am averaging 22.5 MPG. Hand calculations tell me 20.6 and a few more numbers past that....
I for one am VERY happy with the mileage my car gets
