am i the only one whos dash doesnt read out mpg average
 
honestly i have seen that even the 05 have it and my 06 doesn't.

i would like to be part of the cool kids club and know my average and miles till empty

Yes, the MyColor was an interior upgrade option for $460.00 that came with the satin aluminum panel. I've read that you can get the dash cluster and install it yourself.

Here's what mine looks like;

If you go through Ford to purchase one it could be costly around $475.00. An option is to find a used one on eBay or Craigslist and send it to this company; http://www.aaellc.com/

From what I understand, they charge like $160.00 to reset the mileage odometer to show what you have on your car, so all you have to do is connect it.

I'm with everyone else. Actually, I waited from the base V6 to go on sale. I didn't really want any options.

Don't you hate the fact that Ford didn't put the Hamster with the wheel option under the hood, instead of a combustion engine? :D

same here, i wanted a bust out (no options) so i could mod everything the way I want, but ended up w/ traction Control, rear spoiler and door stripe. With that being said I used to really like the digital read out in my commander and wish my mustang had it ha!

Plain Jane no-frills version here too... only fancy option mine came with was the trac control (couldn't find any without it). I've always preferred simple basic models, less things to break. :icon_playing:

Having the "MyColor" option would have only encouraged me to rice out the Mustang like my old Explorer with LED's and cathodes. It's easy enough to just know "On a full tank, at 240 miles, it's time to fill-er up!" I do miss the digital compass, though, that much I'll say.
