War Eagle Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Is this right about what gt500's average? I averaged 13 to 15 around town in my 2009 but it got 20 mpg on the road. Don't check it and it won't matter. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Snake Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Get a few break in miles and it should go up double that, unless your living in boost! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldgus Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Please don't tell me you traded in your Prius for this car... :burnout: Oh, and its directly related to the pedal pressure of your right foot... It will get better as you break-in Enjoy it man. Goldgus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burning Blue Star IV Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Wow - 11.2 mpg. I would think that it could only go up from there. And obviously it depends on how much start and stop driving you're doing. But that sounds SUV low! I assume that it will still take a while for the computer to make adjustments to your driving habits. Luckily, good gas mileage isn't what I bought this car for...hehe.

kahmann Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 My brother averages 11-12 with his 07. I'm at 17 combined with an NA 4.6. You didn't buy a Chevy Volt, my man. Enjoy every mile, cuz it'll cost you plenty! Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra010 Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Is this right about what gt500's average? 18MPG something like 14city 22 highway add the 2 divide by 2 = 18 Bottom line depends on how you drive. You stay in it and you get crapola drive around town shifting gears all day you get crapola you get on the interstate run 70 with cruise on, you get pretty good. YOU CHOOSE.

SicShelby Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 I have no idea... I actually followed some advice from a very good friend of mine, who owns a 2001 Camaro SS. He said.... "Don't LOOK or calculate - you might get depressed." It was good advice! Honestly I think mine too hovers around 15? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

09KR0058 Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 I haven't reset the AVG MPG on my KR since the day I got it, and am at about 3500 miles. Its hovering around 16.0 - 16.1. I do a combination of interstate and back road driving, and don't go into "boost" mode very often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotrodrock Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 98% of my driving is around the small town I live in. 9.8 -10.2 and thats with a light foot. Left town for the first time in about 6 months a couple of weeks ago and got 19 mgp on the highway which included passing thru a couple of other small towns with a few stop lights.

Luckily I don't have far to travel to work then. Can't imagine if I had a twenty mile drive each way every week! That would add up fast! I'm like you, just about all my driving will be around the small town where I live - and where I work is only about 3 miles each way. No problem!

kronus01 Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Lets take a quick look at my small fleet..... 96 Mystic Cobra 02 X5 4.6is 07 GT500 Do you guys think I ever look at my average MPG.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torched10 Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Lets take a quick look at my small fleet.....96 Mystic Cobra 02 X5 4.6is 07 GT500 Do you guys think I ever look at my average MPG.... Im 64 and remember driving a Pontiac Catalina that got 8 mpg, 2 fours etc, and we had an hour commute on a good day.That was the time of GTOs,450hpLS6 Chevlles,etc , all of which got under 10mpg. We were in the Bronx and had a bit of an attitude,but when someone asked what mileage we got, the answer was "If you have to ask that question,you cant afford the car".i know,I know, gas was cheaper, alot cheaper, but i wasnt making much money either.But the point was, and still is for me, lets have fun driving the cars--gas costs are the lowest cost of owning a car.We have a saying "You have to grow old, but you can stay immature forever""Thats me!!

SicShelby Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Well, decided to calculate my mileage today thanks to this thread. I reset the gauge at fill up and drove through a tank. I think there is something wrong. It gives me this icon (exactly): :jackinbox:, followed by the words "Not Applicable." I think I am spending too much time on TS!! Can some one help me with this? I can't find the corresponding light in the manual... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twobjshelbys Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Funny! I'm getting about 16-17 with my Roush 427IR - which is a tall deck 351W bored and fuel injected, and it's not tuned and I know it's running rich. The Shelby GT/SC with the Kenne Bell gets 23-24 on the highway. This is significantly better than my wife's Jeep - 99 Grand Cherokee which gets about 17, and my Dodge 1500 pick-em-up with the 5.7l Hemi which is now getting about 15 (it's almost 5 years old but is barely broken in at about 40K miles).
