Sorry, man it's no better on gas than your mustang, if you drive it hard. But it is faster. 14+ mpg, here. s2 srt-4. 150 to a tank.

LOL.....I just traded my 01 Mustang GT in for this about one month ago, and if you think you are going to be doing yourself any favors on gas mileage, you won't. It seems like I am putting gas in the SRT as much as I did in the mustang.

Speaking of mustangs, I liked the car and all, but the thing had less than 50k miles on it, and rattled and shook like a vacuum cleaner. I don't think I have ever been more disappointed in a car that I bought more so than that one. I liked the way it looked, but it's pretty freaking sad when you love the car the most when you look at it instead of driving it. I was really disappointed in the car. If you want to trade it for those reasons, then it might be a good move, but if yours is a pretty solid car and you love it, I wouldn't make the change, if you are just thinking of gas mileage benefits.

day to day driving, I shift the car at 15,25,35,45 mph cause thats what the manual says to do for the best fuel economy. Nice slow take-offs. I rarely use the boost, I usually get the gauge to -10 to 0 before I am shifting. today I did a 105 miles on 1st 1/4 of tank, i'm gonna break my record, and shoot for 350 on a tank
