Please Post Your Gas Mileage

Almost 8000 miles on my 08 Gt 5 spd and get 21 back and forth to work and a high of 27.1 going from Nashville,TN to FL . I have the 3.31 gears and want 4.10s but afraid it will kill the mileage, anyone know how much I'll lose? Right now I mods are Pypes off road X, Magnaflow full cat back, Hurst shifter. All of this with check engine light on because don't have a tuner yet:(

If you have a manual transmission, your first gear with 4.10's will be so short as to make it almost useless in town and on the track. Mine's got 3.55's and I seldom use 1st gear in takeoffs in town.
 
Best I've gotten around town is 22. I consistently average 21 around town though, it's really not that hard. However, my hwy mileage sucks big time. Best I've done is 24 and change. That's filling up on the side of the interstate and only getting off the interstate to get gas. So less than a mile on 'city' roads. I go just over the speed limit (70-75) most of the time and am extremely conscious of the fact I get poor fuel economy on the hwy. It pisses me off, but at least I get the good mileage where I drive most of the time.
 
08 GT std trans, 3:55 gears. Car is bone stock with 8k miles. My commute is 30 miles one way with 25 of that at highway speed. Mine's averaging 22.5-23.0 every tank. I make a highway run to Austin (190 miles roundtrip) approx once a week at 75-80 mph and it averages 28.5 mpg every time. Needless to say I am very happy with the mileage! :D:nice:
 
JEEZ! Whats wrong with me or my car? I get about 11-12 on my daily commute. OK I rag it, but whats all this talk of MPG in the twenties? The only time I got it anywhere near the mid twenties was on a long distance 60mph trawl.

I've got an '05 with 40+K, but its always been around that... Am I stupid or just driving way fast?

dumb question probably, but is that miles or kilometers?

if kilometers, man that sucks, that would be like 7 miles to the gallon, haha.


i rag on it, occasionally, and i'm getting around 18.9, no highway.

Fair question. We're in Europe. And even though we invented the Imperial system (I think), metric is creeping in. So for some reason we still do distance in Miles, but gas is sold in Litres. US Gallons are different to UK Gallons, but thats irrelevant anyway as its a standard US car... Either way, the price we pay for gas here its terrifying.

I know you guys are all concerned about gas prices, but if you think you got it bad, think again:

We pay £1.20 per Litre.
1 Litre is about 0.26 of a Gallon
The Dollar/Pound exchange rate is about 1.8
So a Gallon (US) would cost us about $8.40 a Gallon!

I try not to look at my MPG readout.
 
ah i see.

its all in the person. i personally love driving my car, and if i got anything else, it would be even worse on gas. i pull up to the pump with a smile, if i wanted gas mileage, i'd get a prius type car, i wanna look bad ass and sound bad ass in a bad ass car.

you don't get compliments driving a prius around town, you get comments driving a mustang, even though theres 300 around every block, a nice clean one catches attention.
 
I've got 11,000 miles on mine and my average for the life of the car is 22.6. I have a good mix of in town and interstate driving. I also do regular full throttle blasts from stops signs and on ramps. It does much better than my truck that I don't hot rod.
 
on my 2006 vortech powered car I get 23 mpg on average of citty and hwy according to the on board calculator. On a road trip I did the math and I got 26 mpg & last I check i got 17-19 in the city traffic..
