Post by bresler »

I have a 2010 GT. Does anybody know what I can expect on the highway?

That all depends on how fast you drive, cargo, people, manual or automatic... ect!

From what I've seen on the site, 26-28mpg seems to be average. YMMV of course.

As star_deceiver said, it depends on many different variables, but my mom and I both have 2009 GTs (both 5-speed autos & both have K&N CAIs) and we average between 26-28 MPG with 50% city/50% highway. I have gotten as high as 33.9 MPG with 100% highway driving.

Check out our MPG Tune pages to get a better idea of what to expect:

I've never experience this. I wish I did. I've gotten up to 30 with cargo and three other passengers. 50/50 for me is around 24. 100% city, I got 19. Yes, 19. Normally city I average around 22.

You need to use a hosting site to where you upload your pics, then they'll work for this site. I use cardomain.com. There are many choices out there. This pic below, from our GenVibe Indy meet in 2010, is uploaded to my cardomain site, then I simply copy/paste the properties of the photo right between the "1mg" tab above. When you right click the photo you'll see what I'm talking about. You can also change the size of the images once they're uploaded. I have three samples below. Good luck :D
