All valid points. That's exactly why, when I'm around home, I try to fill up at the same station and pump as much as I can. Even doing that, the difference between what the computer said I got and what my manual calculations said were on average between 1.2 and 1.5 mpg off. It was pretty...

Totally agree with you on that one. I've always wanted a Mustang but never really considered anything other than the drop top.

Agreed. I'd love it if we could operate the top with the car in motion even if it was limited to 20 mph or so. There is this option available. I'm very interested but I'm not in a position to spend the money right now. There's also a thread on this little item in the forum somewhere. I'm...

I have always loved convertible. I've got a 2016 GT Mustang Convertible right now. I have no experience with the Camaro but I do love the look and operation of it's top. The fact that it's 100% automatic, capable of operating at speeds up to 30 mph, and is fully trimmed out when down is very...

FightingFalcon, you'll get no arguments from most of us. We wish we had the equivalent of your Autobahn's although there are a few places in the country that are better. Interstates in west Texas for example have speed limits in the 80 to 85 mpg range. It's still not your Autobahn, but it's...

I took my box stock 2016 GT with 3:31 gears and manual transmission on a 3500 mile round trip last summer. Average mpg for the trip was 27.3. High tank was 29.1, my calculations. The computer said 30.0 but I believe my numbers. That tank was mostly state highways with speed limits at 60 to...

I was of the same opinion when I first saw it but it has definitely grown on me I might consider upgrading to it on my 2016 GT at some point but probably won't bother spending the money. I also tend to prefer the basic analog gauges too, records, and big ass speakers, although you can keep the...

Hi Michail, Was this some kind of protective cover? Makes me wonder how many others are driving around with this still in place. ;) Thanks for the reply, Steve R.

I've been tweeking mine. The last couple of full-ups have only been 0.1 mpg off between the computer and my calculations. I think I'm done! :)

I've got a local private glass company that I've used for years. They've put a couple of windshields in my Rav4 through the years and recently replaced my GT's windshield. When I first approached them about the Mustang, they gave me prices on the OEM and the aftermarket. OEM was about $650...

None of the 15-17 year models have the digital dash so I doubt that makes any difference.

As others have said, It's not uncommon. I bought a 2016 GT used. The car was 17 months old with 6600 miles on it when I picked it up. At about 17k miles, I noticed the rear tires looked a bit off. Checking them out a little closer, I discovered that both rear tires were worn down to the cord...

Divide the low number by the high number. In my case (mpg) that means divide my calculations by the computers calculations because my numbers are (so far) always lower than the computers numbers are. For L/100km, it'll be the other way around. Divide the computers calculations by your...

I'd think it would be the same. I divided my car's average mpg by my calculated mpg and got 0.957. You said if you did the calculations in "mpg" it would by 1.111, but I plugged in the numbers you mentioned in L/100 km and got the same thing. 20/18 = 1.111. I'd say give it a try and see what...

Hey Big, how does the digital dash hold up, visibility wise, on a bright sunny day with the top down? I've got a 2016 GT convertible, which I love, and obviously has the standard gauges. The center info display will wash out completely and be totally unreadable with the top down and the sun in...

I've tried the 30 second thing. Sometimes it seems to make a difference, sometimes not. I agree with your observations on the Mustang. My other car is a Rav4 and it does better on the subsequent squeezes of the handle than the Mustang seems to.

I have often wondered about that too, but I've also found that how the car is sitting relative to the pump can make a big difference too. If the drive is angled slightly toward the pump or slightly away from the pump, that can effect how much the car will take before the fuel enters the filler...

At least it's being honest with you. I was always bummed a little when the display says I'm getting 25, but then do my own calculations and find out that I only got something between 23.5 and 24. For a V8 Mustang, I'm more than happy with 23.5 to 24 too and I don't have the let down of...

Practical is a relative term. Depends on what you need vs what the car can actually do. As you've discovered, the Mustang has a nice sized trunk for a car of it's type. I've got the convertible and my trunk is smaller than the fastbacks and I can't fold the rear seat backs like the fastbacks...

You're comparing apples and oranges. First, almost all piston engined aircraft are air cooled, and they operate under much more extreme conditions than our car engines do. When i say "extreme," I mean in terms of how quickly air pressures and temperatures can change. Being air cooled, they...
