Welcome to MF's, I'm sure the V6 gets better fuel mileage if thats what your asking, personally I would buy the GT model because V8's are much more desireable.

I used regular unleaded until I supercharged it. Now I have to run premium.

I originally considered getting a V6, but all it takes is one test drive in a V8 GT. The feel, the engine, and the exhaust will definitly win you over. V8 fuel economy really isn't that bad, I get about 20mpgs as long as I don't floor it all the time. lol I also use regular 87 octane, unless I'm going to the track, then I'll add some premium.

thanks alot,but i m confusing with the gasoline you talk about Stealth, did u mean use reg. 87 in the daily and premium for a long tripe? This is my first American Car, i need to study alot..maybe tell me more when the first time you got your mustang GT.


I still concerning that how much more fuel will a 4.6l v8GT than a 4.0l v6 ..
if 0.6l is just like nothing.like 50bucks..i will forget it. may be you guys can give me some idea like how much liters for a v6 to run 60miles and how much lites for a Gt to run 60miles.(Both contain city and highway)

11-12 liters for v6 is what i get on the internet.

all mustangs use regular unleaded, 87 octane.

There are tunes that will take advantage of higher octanes, but using more expensive gas means that you must have money to BURN! Because you are, literally, burning your money when you spend more on each fill up, not including the extra $600 it takes for the CAI and tuner

I use 87 for daily use and premium when I'm looking for extra performance, like at the drag strip.

I'm sorry I do not know the liter conversion, but with my V8 I average about 20 miles per gallon. The V6 will average a litte better, it is not really a big difference. Definitly worth it to get the GT. Just go out and test drive some at a dealership. This is what I did, and as soon as I got in the GT, heard the roar of the exhaust, and felt the power, haha, I couldn't settle for anything less.
