I was wondering if long term GT owners would be willing to post up some data for real world comparisons that may benefit future buyers of a GT.

Please copy paste the format below and use for your response.

1) MPG:
2) Year / Model: (model being coupe or convertible)
3) Transmission: (6R80 or MT82)
4) Rear Gear ratio: (ex. 3.73, 3.31, 3.55 etc)
5) Torsen Rear diff: (Yes/No)
6) 7-day total driven distance: (miles)
7) City/Highway ratio: (ex. 30% City / 70% Highway)
8) As Built Tune or Aftermarket Tune: (if aftermarket, please note details)
9) N/A engine or Forced Induction: (if FI, please note details)
10) Timed Event usage: (ex. None, Drag Race, Road Race, Drifting, or Auto Cross)
11) If used in timed event, how often: (ex. 1x a week, month, year etc.)
12) Is vehicle factory weight: (ex. No / Yes; If no, please provide details)

8-14) The car is bone stock.

17,850 miles. I've never reset trip odometer #2. 22.3 is the average MPG since new. The trip computer tends to be about 5% high, so realistically, 21.2 mpg.
