GUARD S550 MUSTANG Thread

Wow! Avg 26 MPG as much as i would love that I'm still sticking with the 5.0 but that's awesome for the EB guys

I'm not sure how accurate that is since it appears to have a full tank of gas and a range of 418 miles showing. Has it been reset at fueling? How long has it sat runnung at idle? How hard has it been driven? Etc, etc. There are too many variables to consider. I know when I saw the same car last week it sat running at idle for at least 30 minutes after I got to Brandon Ford before they pulled it in the shade. 26 mpg isn't bad, but I'm hoping it'll be a little bit better than that. I get 21 mpg out of my V-6 Accord Coupe around town.

Well I get 31 on the HWY...but on average...I only get 21. Thats in my 2013 v6. So I think 26+ is really good. Not to mention that I am about to get a 5.0 and have it go down to like 17 mpg avg.

Wow! The best I ever got in my 2011 5.0 was 14 mpg. But then I drove it like Dan Gurney.

Yah I'm shocked they let them take a pic of that gauge up with the Fuel information.

So it looks like we're getting around a 16 gallon tank if that is full?

Hopefully I'm sick of my 19 gallon in the Challenger that gets me 275 miles...

According to the owners manual and dealer guide, the Ecoboost has a 15.5 gallon tank and the GT has a 16 gallon tank.

I'm averaging 25 in my 14 Mustang MCA V6. I also am getting a V8 so MPG def will go down. I drive a lot of highway and a lot in general I have 21000 miles on the car had it since September.

That's going to be $65-70 a pop for every full tank refuel over here.

Most likely.. but so are the pics in Playboy & that never stopped anyone from looking

the most controversial color offered BY FAR.

In my humble opinion, I think everyone (like myself) on the fence about this color was hoping a Mustang in Guard would have the same visual effect as this:

Guard is without a doubt a much more interesting color than plain jane Magnetic for example, but I was really hoping the color would capture some of that retro magic. Its on notice for me until I see it in person, Black or DIB until then

Are you concerned that will be too expensive?

Just means you won't need to fill it up as often.

My 350Z has a 20 gallon tank, which is awesome because I do a lot of driving and don't need to hit the station as often (I go 400 miles between fill-ups with 3 gallons to spare).

My GTI has a 14.5 gallon tank, and I can also make it over 400 miles with that car (but with only a gallon to spare).

I am hoping I can get about 400 miles to a tank on the Mustang GT as well. That'll last me about a week. For some reason 400 miles is my "magic" number. Maybe just from 15 years of commuting and I like consistency.

And @ $4.25 per gallon would be $68 for 16 gallons.
