2015 Ford Mustang Gas Mileage: EPA Ratings For All Models Released

After much speculation, EPA fuel-economy ratings for the 2015 Ford Mustang have been released.

The Mustang is normally more notable for horsepower than fuel efficiency, but the availability of a 2.3-liter turbocharged EcoBoost four-cylinder engine on the redesigned 2015 model has changed that.

Not surprisingly, the EcoBoost is the most fuel efficient engine available, while the 3.7-liter V-6 and 5.0-liter V-8--which carry over from the 2014 Mustang with some changes--prove slightly less efficient than before.

The V-6 will be offered in base models, and for 2015 it's rated at 21 mpg combined (17 mpg city, 28 mpg highway) with the six-speed manual transmission, and 22 mpg combined (19 mpg city, 28 mpg highway) with the six-speed automatic.

That means manual-equipped V-6 Mustangs lose two mpg in the city category, and one mpg each in the combined and highway categories, compared to the 2014 model. With the automatic, the V-6 drops one mpg in the combined category, and three mpg highway.

The EcoBoost four-cylinder will sit between the V-6 and the V-8 in the lineup, so buyers will have to pay extra for better fuel economy.

The EPA rates this engine at 26 mpg combined (22 mpg city, 31 mpg highway) with the manual transmission, and 25 mpg combined (21 mpg city, 32 mpg highway) with the automatic.
