Gas Mileage Comparison

[SS2 GOTZ]

First, let me say that I didn't but my2024 GT Vert Premium for the gas mileage, But I am interested in hearing from the community on their experience with mileage. I started out stock and added a bunch of Steeda suspension parts which I love. Using mostly Normal mode and Sport mode, usually around town and on local freeways, I was averaging about 17.5 mpg always on 93 Sunoco Gas. Along about January of this year, that suddenly dropped to about 15.8 MPG average in all the same conditions. In May, I had a Whipple stage 2 installed along with Kooks long tube headers and Kooks high temp green cats. I did this knowing full well mileage would take a hit, but again, I didn't do any of this to get mileage. After Whipple and header install, I'm now averaging about 13.5 MPG. I don't track it and don't do any hard pulls. Just curious what others are seeing in the GT Premium configurations.

Bone stock 26 mpg going easy on the big peddle.

Back roads of NC 55 mph and some I-95 70 mph.

It's sad that we have to start with the first sentence, just because we have to defend ourselves first from the people who we expect to react like "You have a GT and you care about gas mileage? Go drive a Prius".

My average is about 11.7L/100km

~13 MPG life to date (30k miles)
~10 MPG over last thousand miles
~6 MPG during last track day

16.5 mpg currently. With a manual Coyote you have to keep the revs up so you are always ready to roll

Seriously, I can get into the looow 20's on a highway cruise.

13mpg is the best i got, no idea why its this bad.

I think I am sitting at 10.2 or so. That's it. Have not gone on a long trip or done a lot of highway miles. Lol, maybe it's all the downshifting and rev matching.

I get about 17 mpg (going by the dash counter).
Mixture of around town/highways, Tampa area.
I drive with Sport always on.
On each drive I usually get on it a few times.

Premium, 6 sp, active exhaust.

On my '26 GT vert, 6spd, PP, I average 16-17 around town & as high as 24 on freeways

As I tell my Tesla/Prius friends "the only way this car could be less friendly to the environment is if it ran on dolphin fins"

I bought a Mustang GT. I never check MPG.

Most of my driving is local about the village and surrounding area; mileage can't be much to write about. I have seen 22/23 MPG on the few highway (cruise controlled 60 MPH) trips I've taken recently. Best I've gotten was a hair over 28 MPG right after purchase; during some extended 60 MPH highway cruising.

did a road trip today, easy cruising on country roads, 10,3 l/100km (22,8 mpg)
overall I'm at 12,75 l/100km (18,44 mpg)

I just broke 6K a couple of weeks ago, and around town I am maybe 13.7 MPG, and if I remember correctly, between 22-25 on a long trip. Welcome to the club! At least we are having a hell of a lot of fun buying gas! Glenn

As always. It depends....
My record is 3.9 mpg.

If gas mileage is your biggest issue with the GT, then you should have purchased an Eco-Boost!

As a comparison...

My 24 Eco-Boost in town averages 19.5 to 20 MPG. On the highway at ≈70 MPH, it hovers around 35 to 36 MPG depending on terrain. This is with the FPT.
