Any other U.K. Mustang owners help out with advice as how a Mustang 4.6 V8 GT compares with U.K. vehicles?
Being LHD doesnt bother me as I have driven in Europe in my uk car but its more what sort of MPG do you get? How does it compare with the FWD brigade e.g. Ford's Focus ST?
Any comments appreciated.

My 08 GT (4.6l V8) here in the US gets around 18mpg or so in normal city driving (which converts to about 21mpg based on a UK gallon size). On the highway at 60-70 with cruise on, it can get as high as 30mpg, but usually settles around 28-29 on the mpg computer (that's about 33miles per UK gallon). Combined, and most of my driving here is city based, much like most UK driving, it usually ends up around 21mpg (25 miles per uk gallon).
Personally, being used to british cars with 1.2-2,0 liter engines, and 2.0 being considered "over the top"... I think that's amazing for a 4.6 litre beast of an engine in a 3500lbs car.
