Talking Looking at buying my first

Hey everyone this is my first post to what I hope to be many...
but here is my dilemma

Right now I am looking at a 2011 v6 premium and a 2011 GT premium and my only concern is gas...this will be a daily driver and I am just looking at the fact that the GT would be my first high octane vehicle, I can actually afford the gas but i just want to hear some input on what the gas usage is like for the 2011 GT and yes I know the older mustangs are a lot worse on gas but I would just like to hear from more experienced peoples.

when the purchase is made i'll be sure to post pictures

Default Gas

I thought that the GT can be driven on 87. My 2012 is a GT Premium and I can run regular. So deciding based on Octane should not be an issue.

Default RTFM

alright I call rtfm on myself...found a pdf online and says that the gt will take 87...and get better responses from 93....so then i made my choice

got the 2011 GT, Grabber Blue with auto transmission

unfortunately I have to go with a automatic cause i am too tall to put the clutch in with a manual and to answer your question i'm 6'7.
