what are you guys getting with MPG on new 5.0's

[Screw]

You’ll do ok L/100 with conservative driving ,spirited 15-16L/100

I don't drive easy but still get 20-25 MPG.

All around driving in my 12 was around 13l/100 km. My 14 was the same
My 15 overall was probably 12. Never saw less than 11
My 17 routinely sees 10's and today going out to Mississauga on the 401, top down, i saw 9.3. And that was at 130km/hr.

I never think of fuel mileage - it's not an option if you want a fast car - I remember having a 455 with a stage three build and spending $20.00 a day on fuel to go to work - back in the 80's that was crazy money - two years ago I was commuting 1000 kilometers/wk. in a 1973 Plymouth with a 318 2 barrel...lol was getting the same mileage as my wife's minivan - her new minivan mileage is better now due to 8spd or 9spd transmission....in my opinion fuel mileage hasn't change much in cars since 1970 - the new automatic transmission have immensely improved mileage of recent...

That’s where my hiccup lies with buying a new GT. I don’t want to see 5.0 F150 4x4 MPG since I’d be putting on at least 400km a week, rain, shine or snow. If I do think of this I will get a pretty well appointed GT with performance pack. And stop modding the notch and see what happens next with it.

Winter doesn’t bug me much even if I’m spoiled with AWD, I’ve owned an old crown Vic for a few years and it was better than most FWD cars with 4season tires. I just won’t justify an average 14l/100km daily driver as much as I love sports cars but the new GT would be about the same if not a little better than my edge.

I hate being a car guy sometimes but I can’t escape it. I tried so many times, the best I ever did was 2 years without even owning a car when I lived downtown. But I really enjoy early morning weekend open-road trips and I don't "always" hate the commute either but I'm tearing open the Edge's transmission because sometimes I put it in sport mode and the gas pedal is going through the floor lol. I am who I am, I'm a bit of a car-nerd / idiot. What can ya do... can't change it. Could be worse I guess. At least I'm smart enough to know what would happen if I got into 1000+cc bikes. LOL I'd be splattered all over the 401 on day 1.

Best I ever got was 7.9/100l once. Most of the time I have too much fun with it and mileage is really the least of my worries...lol

[Screw]

Lol I looked at the 4.6 18/100 fun driving

[stangstevers]

Tried the 10 speed everyone loved... its great but not for me. I will say the 6 speed is designed for old farts. I like that. Lol

[DELZZZ]

My 18 GT usually gets between 11-12l per.
On the xway I'm usually in 6th and saving fuel.
My 17 V6 wasn't much better.
I still can't believe I get such good mileage with a coyote and a stick...
