I just crossed 2000 miles with my 06 GT ragtop.. I have had it since the
middle of April and I have a 25 mile highway commute each day .. I also
took it on a trip from Reading, PA to Richmond, VA (560 mile round trip)

I am averaging 23 MPG overall.. On the Long trip, I got 25 MPG.. Which is
about the same as I was getting from my 2000 Mustang v-6, 5-speed coupe...

Very Pleased... There is NOTHING like cruising down the highway in a loud
V-8, top down, with the stereo cranked up.. (especially when you pull up
alongside one of those Rap-Thumping, Bumble-Bee sounding, Neon Lit,
Fiberglass BodyKit Nightmare, 8 foot tall and 4 Wing, spoiler wearing,
Eurotrash 'things' that seem to be all the rage these days... ) :-)
