Cylinder deactivation + better aero.My buddies Corvette gets 32 on highway.
But still, 32 is damn impressive for that big ass V8. Mixed driving I average 15-18mpg. Coyote is one thirsty dog.

Yeah, if the conditions are right. Like said above cylinder deactivation, the fact it doesn't weigh a lot, good aero, driving at 60 mph, all highway. I don't doubt it. But if you read my post after that, I was mainly talking about 30 average(city/highway). Corvette averages more like 20. Not much better than the Mustang.My buddies Corvette gets 32 on highway.
I still dig that Mustang bicycle from Sweden!
It says 18/27 for all of the Mustangs on the configurator. It's a bug.Maybe someone can shed some light on this. If the ecoboost is high 20's/low 30's and the GT350 is low 20's. What is this?
Found on the 2018 mustang configurator.
They have been manufacturing for ethanol use for years now. This is coming from the people who make the fuel systems.Your engine will last longer. Unless they are now manufacturing engine components with ethanol gas in mind.
The MY 2013-14' automatic got better mpg in tbe city, at 18, and the same Hwy. The 10 spd did nothing for mpg's. The car is gaining 40-125 lbs base to premium coupe, for lots of new standard equipment. And it did not gain 25 hp if comparing Apples to Apples, Camaro SS and Dodge Chally. It gained 15-20 hp. They all rate their power on 89/91 octane. Ford, unfortunately, to make it look good, rates their power on a Michigan 93/94 mix.Considering the car is now making +25 more HP, most likely picked up a little more weight, i'd say not too bad. Manuals should pick up a few more MPG. That price on the other hand... can't say I never imagined a regular Mustang GT being in the 50's.
My c6 saw 30 MPG on the regular... No Cylinder DeactivationCylinder deactivation + better aero.

This part of the same paragraph doesn't sound right since the current GT PP already has a splitter. Edit to correct: The pictures show that the new PP splitter is changed from the current PP splitter.Good article on MT about aero improvements for mpg and high speed stability: http://www.motortrend.com/news/bett...9dbe35404d301440d31155e&utm_medium&utm_source
"...while the underside of the Mustang had been open before, there’s now a panel that bridges the gap from the engine shield all the way back to the fuel tank that improves aero, as well as potentially lessening cabin noise. The end result, they say, is a car that drives much better at high speeds. They wouldn’t give us figures to compare, but they claim owners will notice a significant difference on the racetrack."
The pictures of "on their side" 18 GT PP cars show what looks like a new profile compared to the current splitter and also do not include the new shield . . . which could be for "show and tell". I wonder where the heat will go? Note that the black plastic cover under the driver side of the display cars is on the current car also.They also told him that thanks to the new Performance Pack’s rear spoiler, they had to add the front splitter to keep the car balanced at speed.
