After 8 tracked fill ups here’s what my GT is averaging:

I didn’t log fuel in the Ecoboost but I averaged between 23 and 25 mpg. I use regular for the GT and my Ecoboost needed premium once it was tuned, so the cost difference isn’t too bad.

For a 435 horsepower V8 pushing a 3800 lb car what more can I ask for?

Also interested. Fuelly for me is acting all kinds of strange lately.

It’s called Gas Cubby. I got a good tank out of the Miata this morning.

Wow, you actually got 39 out of a Miata for once? Best I ever got on my mom’s NA was 30.5

Yeah that 39.5 mpg tank was highway driving through Texas. It’s a bit of an outlier, though I’ve been cracking over 30 mpg regularly as of late.

GasTracker+, which I understand is Fuelly’s app? I think I searched fuelly on the App Store and it was the top result

Not 435 hp without premium :(

I always ran premium in mine because i like throwing away money. Also because it’s all every vehicle I’ve owned takes. Bad habbit to break.

I run it occasionally but I don’t really feel the difference.

Interesting to see the mileage difference between your PP and my base GT. Of course, I realize that there are other factors in play here, most notably the percentage of City vs Highway driving. Regardless, the MPG of either version is impressive. Back in the era when I grew up, this kind of horsepower would be in single-digit gas mileage territory.
