Time to scratch that Massa itch!

[Barleymagrew]

Hi Guys,
Firstly congrats on a great forum. Loads of info!
I'm looking for my first Massa. I'm considering GT 4.7 or QP 4.7 or the later V6 but I can't find any info on motorway mpg. (I've got a 66 mustang for weekend so not worried about burning fuel) but I've got to budget as I do 17,000 motorway miles each year.
Can anyone tell me what mpg to expect at 80mph on the motorway from those cars?
Any help massively appreciated.
Cheers

depends on what gear you're in...

on a serious note... no idea, but as you say if you've got a mustang then it isn't going to be out of the ordinary.

On the long boring schleps through France I have seen 20 mpg from mine, but it will drop to 18 or a bit worse in traffic.

19.6mpg max...most likely 17mpg.

Thanks guys. Do you think much difference between the 4.7 and the V6?

I've got a 4.2 QP DS I use as a daily, it's possible to get 28mpg on a flat motorway, at 60-65mph, I got 35mpg once really feather-footing.

But who wants to drive like that - budget low 20's.....

 

[Wanderer]

Missed that about 80mph, I concur, lucky to get near 20mpg...

 

[GeoffCapes]

In my GTS I averaged about 15mpg. But I liked the noise. So it was used in high revs most of the time!
Oh the noise.....

I find quite a difference in mpg depending on whether I am in normal or Sport mode. When I first collected my car (2015 Granturismo Sport) and drove 2 hours home down the M1 in horrible conditions averaging 65-70mph I saw 30mpg on the computer - with the large fuel tank I have seen an indicated range of over 600 miles after fill up! Normal conditions on a long motorway run @70-80mph I normally average 24-26mpg. Back roads / fun driving gives 15-18mpg. It's about the same on fuel as my old E92 M3.

25-27mpg for a 4.7 GT or QP.

I only have limited experience of driving at 80 mph but that is about right I would say.

I was estimating as I only have ever driven at 69-70mph on the motorway

What, even if you want to get somewhere quickly?

 

[Gazcw]

Long le mans motorway runs gets me 24mpg at 80 ish with odd moments of madness in the 4.7.

 

[linescanner]

2013 GranCab here. Manage around 25 - 27mpg on long motorway runs in ICE. Soon ruin this when the roads get interesting though

4.7 QP

Wow..I never got close to this. 19.6mpg was the best I ever got even driving it very carefully and not speeding (not that I ever would of course!)

 

[safrane]

Not sure how such massive MPG is achieved in a QP... Even cruising at c 60mph in the much lighter 4200s, the best I had was 22 on a 350 mile drive on French autoroutes.

I got 34.1 mpg on a 5.3 mile test on M62, Ardsley to Oulton exit, I have a pic to prove. Apologies for the dust and and ASDA Mobile, not many 2G mobile providers about now - I'm on Plusnet now!
