RE: What kind of gas mileage are you getting???
i get upper teens around town... i think you can get whatever you want around town, from single digits to mid 20s.
on the highway, as long as you're just driving and not constantly shifting around/passing/goosing it just to hear the motor i get 28-29. have yet to average 30 on a freeway trip, but it will surely get better.
cheers

RE: What kind of gas mileage are you getting???
I was disappointed at first in the fuel mileage of my 2005 V6 auto convertible. On my 1998 V6-auto ragtop, I got 18-19mpg city and 27+ highway (top up). The Oh Five was only giving me 15mpg city (no highway yet). However, once I got the oil changed, I noticed a gain of 1.5mpg, to almost 17mpg now. I spend some time in traffic (carpool lane at my son's school), and my right foot is heavier than my left (I checked it on the bathroom scale too!).
The sheer enjoyment factor with the new body style exponentially outweighs any loss suffered in fuel mileage! Vrooooom!!! [sm=burnout.gif]

before i changed my stock rims to gt rims i was getting 390 miles per full tank w/ 93 from shell...
after the GT rims i am now getting like 290.... im very upset about that, lol... My tires are properly inflated also... I dunno what happened and I cant believe that much of a change in mileage

well pretty much because my car still has less than 650 miles on it depends on what i do that week
if i only take it out around the city it is pretty good, i get about 17mpg, but when i start doing trafficy driving it has droped all the way to 4mpg

Around town it varies quite a bit, but last time my trip computer said I was getting about 21. On the highway, if I set the cruise control on 65, I get 28.1, if I set it at 79, I get 25.4.

RE: What kind of gas mileage are you getting???
Hi!I just finished a trip from Dayton Ohio to Philidelphia and back along with some driving around while there for a total of 1500 miles yesterday. My 05 mustang has 8000 miles on it and I am happy to be getting a solid 28MPG at higway speed. I was driving like everyone else on the Peny trunpike at 80 MPH and sometimes more. I even got 30MPG traveling eastbound with a strong tailwind while driving fast. This was information comming from the calculator in the car. I have manually calculated the milage a couple of times and found the figures agree mostly. I am happy!
