My total mileage average since new is 9.20 km/ltr or 21.63 mi/gal, I have around 9600 km on my 03 GT with an s/s auto. I have gotten as high as 13 km/ltr or 31 mi/gal on one of my last road trips. On the road I average 450-500 km or 280-310 miles per tank.


But running the a/c or my driving habits like blowing the doors off some young pup or

a little [8)] road racing takes it's toll on my mileage.

By the way the gas price here in central BC, Canada is 75.9 per litre or about $2.00 gal.

Mine was very inconsistent even at highway speeds but always kept between 20 and 24 mpg. As I got closer to the 20K mark, it seemed to stabilize itself at 24-25mpg.

I get 29-30 MPG consistently in my '03 GT autostick. That is my wife driving. Mixed city / highway on 91 Octane.
