We took our 03 GT from Sacramento CA to Denver last month. Had rear seats out and loaded with "stuff" to the window line. Ran usualy at 75 on cruise control, with a/c on. My worst mileage segment was the climb over to Reno, 19.7 mpg. The best eastbound was 27.5 mpg, and had 23.7 overall. The return trip best was 27.9, and overall for 2386 miles(including a week of Denver traffic) was 24.9 mpg. The interesting part was that I got a cel in Cheyenne WY, and had a cracked sparkplug replaced when we got to Denver. What would we have gotten running on 4 good cylinders all the time?
The car is my wife's daily drive, so the only mod (so far) is removed silencers in the airbox. If not for the warranty issue, stage 1 would probably happen. Sure is fun to have a little rod before we retire!
