[QUOTE="PistolWhip, post: 10688706, member: 30361"] My car averages 14.5 MPG going by the little MPG calculator on the dash. I've never reset it I don't think, so that's since I bought it new and it now has about 2800 miles on it. I don't drive it much and when I do, its kind of just beating around town so I'm sure it would be better if I drove it longer distances and / or on highway trips. As for picking one or the other; that's a really tough call. If your a fan of the Shelby "mystique" than chances are you won't be happy with anything but the Shelby. Same goes for the SVT gang, which is where my allegiance is. I would have bought my car for the same amount of money for just the SVT name, even if it never had the Shelby name on it. Honestly, I kind of wish it was just an SVT and not a Shelby, it would make moding much easier as I wouldn't have to worry about what you can see and what you can't see and what names are on the parts. A Shelby would look kinda silly with Saleen pedals but that's just my opinion. If you could care less about all the "Shelby, SVT" stuff and its just a matter of having a car with some balls and nice styling than I think the better bang for the buck is the 11-12 GT. You can make them pretty dam fast pretty dam easily and the fuel economy will help you in your daily commute. If it were me, I'd be looking for a cheapo 4 cylinder compact to D/D and then buy a Mustang as a weekend car or nice weather car. That way you can factor out MPG as one of your shopping restrictions and get what you really want regardless of gas prices. Lets face it, if you really want a GT500 and get GT instead, your not going to be happy and the car will never satisfy you like a new car should. [/QUOTE]
