Ford Mustang Fuel Consumption

The Ford Mustang offers a range of fuel consumption figures depending on the engine and model year. For the 2024 model, the 2.3L EcoBoost (10-speed automatic) achieves an EPA-estimated 22 mpg city, 33 mpg highway, and 26 mpg combined. The Performance Pack version slightly reduces those numbers to 21 city, 29 highway, and 24 combined mpg.[6]

The 5.0L GT with a 10-speed automatic is rated at 15 mpg city, 24 mpg highway, and 18 mpg combined. The higher-performance Dark Horse (6-speed manual) comes in at 14 city, 22 highway, and 17 combined mpg.[6] These results are consistent with U.S. EPA estimates, where the four-cylinder EcoBoost is rated up to 22 city and 33 highway mpg, and the GT V8 achieves 15–16 city and 24 highway mpg, depending on transmission choice.[2][4]

Real-world user data shows average fuel economy across recent Mustang models tends to range between 17.8 and 20.3 mpg, depending on the specific year, engine, and driving conditions.[3] Owner reports for the V8 GT with manual transmission commonly cite combined figures around 18–19 mpg and up to 25–27 mpg on steady highway trips.[5]
