5.0 Mileage

[Free Agent]

You ordered the car with 3.55 gears?

Yep, I want acceleration. Don't care about the mileage hit.

Awesome!
I had no idea they were offering gears as an option. I did not see it on the site.

Yep its not on the B&P but its on the ordering guide and will come up if/when you order. A $395 MSRP option for 3.55 gears only with the V6 and GT, not the EB apparently .

3.55's are part of the EB performance pack, I didn't think you could get them seperately.

You can't on the EB, only on the V6 and GT apparently.

Sooo??? Tooling around on the site and I find this. GT Fastback 15-26 MPG

Looks like it's carry over data from the previous gen to me. Mpgs in the comparison are the exact same as the 2014.

 

[SilverSpoon09]

That is what I think and hope as well... But why post it on the official ford website if it is not correct.

Oversight, likely. You have to dig into the comparison feature to find that, and it doesn't list anything for the EB cars. But if you go out to the specs page or overview pages where someone is more likely to look for that info, it still shows TBD for all models.

Here is the old ford survey that gave away the hp numbers long before they were confirmed. Seems like since the horsepower numbers were basically correct the mileage is probably pretty accurate too.

"lightly" disguised indeed.
32mpg freeway for the EB matches the lighter and smaller displacement Focus ST and is only down 1 city.
18/28 for the 5.0L would be a +2/+3 gain from the '14.

Those would be good numbers.

I would be ecstatic to learn that I was not really making a sacrifice mileage wise by upgrading to a 2015 5.0!

Yeah if that's the best the eco-boost is getting I would feel the same way as you do. Plus coming from a 1999 Ford Explorer sport that get 16 city 20 Highway I'd be making gains.

Agreed those would be good #s. Since they still haven't released them I wonder if they're trying to get an extra mile per gallon here .

Conjoint survey! Ahh, the memories.

IF ONLY the GT was ~$2k more :(

Thanks for posting -- you're right, those are very likely within 5% of the end numbers.
