2011 Ford Mustang GT Overview

This is up from 23 mpg highway and 17 city for the 2010 model. Six-speed manual transmission Ford Mustang GT models for 2011 are projected to deliver 24 mpg highway and 16 city, matching the 2010 model but delivering significantly more horsepower and performance feel. Ford Mustang GT 2011 fuel economy is enabled by the Ti-VCT, the six-speed transmissions in automatic or manual variations, EPAS and an additional rear decklid seal to enhance aerodynamics. The Ford Mustang GT 2011 features an enhanced rear lower control arm to add stiffness, improve powertrain NVH control and sharpen handling.
