What Our Members Are Saying about the Real Ford Mustang MPG
| Ford Mustang Fuel Economy: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2011 | 2dr Coupe 412-horsepower 5.0L V8 6-speed manual RWD |
V8, 412hp, 26mpg. Who thought those three things would ever go together. |
| 2010 | 2dr Coupe 210-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed manual RWD |
The 698 was a HP390, and got abou 9mph. I oped for the 6 because it has all the power I need and gets real world fuel economy equal to my Escapes. I consistantly get 23 plus in mixed driving |
| 2009 | 2dr Coupe 300-horsepower 4.6L V8 5-speed manual RWD |
For a 4.6L V8 using 87 octane, 20 city and 28 hwy is not bad. |
| 2008 | 2dr Coupe 300-horsepower 4.6L V8 5-speed manual RWD |
For a V8, I still get great fuel economy. I average 21mpg with combined city & highway, about 75% city. Only long highway trips, I average 27mpg at 70mph. |
| 2007 | 2dr Coupe 300-horsepower 4.6L V8 5-speed manual RWD |
Surprisingly, the V8 gets about 23-25 MPG highway driving IF you behave; better than my SUV. The Stang is my choice for my frequent 800+ miles trips once or twice per month. |
| 2005 | 2dr Coupe 210-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic RWD |
Not bad at all for a sports car with a big six cyl. |
| 2005 | 2dr Convertible 300-horsepower 4.6L V8 5-speed automatic RWD |
If you drive it responsably, I easily get 22 mpg around town. At 65 mph I get 28 on the highway. |
| Ford Mustang Fuel Economy: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2013 | 2dr Coupe 420-horsepower 5.0L V8 6-speed manual RWD |
19.6 MPG under tame driving (read: shifting at 2200rpms), 10.2 under agressive driving. |
| 2012 | 2dr Coupe 305-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed manual RWD |
I was hoping for a bit better than the 24 I'm getting in commuting duty. Car still has less than 2000 miles, so it may improve w/ summer blend gas and a more broken in engine. If I could get 26 I'd be much happier, but I'm not counting on it |
| 2010 | 2dr Coupe 315-horsepower 4.6L V8 5-speed manual RWD |
It flat out sucks. |
| 2009 | 2dr Coupe 300-horsepower 4.6L V8 5-speed manual RWD |
The GT/CS is surprisingly economical; GT500 is a profligate gas gobbler - but who really cares? |
| 2008 | 2dr Coupe supercharged 500hp 5.4L V8 6-speed manual RWD |
12 mpg city is poor, hi way mpg of 22 is not too bad |
| 2008 | 2dr Convertible supercharged 500hp 5.4L V8 6-speed manual RWD |
Premium fuel is expensive and mileage with a blown 5.4 is not stellar. I would not recommend this as a daily driver but it makes a hell of weekend and evening toy. |
| 2007 | 2dr Coupe 210-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed manual RWD |
I checked mileage carefully, hoping it was possible to get better than 18-20 m.p.g.- not likey in everyday driving. |
| 2006 | 2dr Convertible 300-horsepower 4.6L V8 5-speed manual RWD |
16 MPG on average |
| 2005 | 2dr Coupe 210-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed manual RWD |
Mustang is smaller but much thirstier... |
| 2005 | 2dr Convertible 300-horsepower 4.6L V8 5-speed automatic RWD |
V8 while not terrible, it does use more fuel than similar sized vehicles with smaller engines. |
