The updated look of the 2018 Ford Mustang is certainly controversial, but the promise of better performance, better handling, and better fuel economy is a seriously tempting proposition. But how much better is the fuel economy across the lineup? According to Ford's latest release, a better aerodynamics package means combined gas mileage is up as much as 5.6 percent.

You'll see the biggest improvements on the Mustang GT with the automatic transmission. Ford now uses the 10-speed unit it co-developed with GM, raising city, highway, and combined fuel economy by 1 mile per gallon each, improving combined mileage by the aforementioned 5.6 percent. If you equip the GT with a manual, though, it still gets the same 15/25/18 city/hwy/combined rating. Then again, GT buyers are probably more concerned with performance than MPG.
For buyers who prefer a better balance of performance and gas mileage, Ford still offersa turbocharged four-cylinder Mustang.Combined fuel economy is now 25 mpg regardless of whether you pick the auto or the manual, a 4.2 percent improvement over the 2017 model. City mileage is still the same 21 mpg, but highway numbers are now up to 32 mpg and 31 mpg respectively.
All this focus on aerodynamics and gas mileage didn't turn the Mustang into an economy car. It's still fast, loud, and can do all the burnouts you want. Glorious, smoky, line-locked burnouts.
