The 2013 Roush Performance Stage 3 Mustang makes sense for a buyer focused on a supercharged 5.0-liter V8, rear-wheel drive, and automatic operation. Fuel economy is modest at 18 MPG combined, and the EPA estimates $4,550 in yearly fuel costs. Highway use is rated at 23 MPG, but city driving drops to 16 MPG. If those running costs fit your driving pattern, the car’s powertrain layout is clear and easy to understand. If fuel spending is your main concern, this is a difficult match.
What it is
This 2013 Mustang from Roush Performance is a rear-wheel-drive car in the EPA subcompact-car class. It uses a supercharged 5.0-liter eight-cylinder gasoline engine and a six-speed automatic transmission.
The numbers
The figure that defines this car is 18 MPG combined. The EPA city figure is 16 MPG, while highway driving is rated at 23 MPG. Your actual result will depend on how much of your driving is in town or on open roads.
What it costs to run
EPA annual fuel cost is $4,550. That estimate follows the 18 MPG combined rating, so frequent city use at 16 MPG can consume fuel faster than mostly highway driving at 23 MPG.
How it compares
The Stage 3 Mustang is part of the Roush Performance cars group.
Who it suits
This car suits a buyer who wants a gasoline Mustang with a supercharged V8, automatic transmission, and rear-wheel drive, and who can budget for its EPA-estimated yearly fuel cost.
Trade-offs
The supercharged eight-cylinder engine and rear-wheel-drive layout come with 18 MPG combined fuel economy. City driving is rated at 16 MPG, so urban miles carry a higher fuel-use penalty than highway miles.
Verdict
Choose this Mustang if its supercharged V8 and rear-wheel-drive setup matter more to you than low fuel consumption. The 23 MPG highway rating is more manageable for longer trips, but the 16 MPG city figure and $4,550 annual fuel estimate make regular urban driving costly. Its six-speed automatic keeps the powertrain straightforward, while the 18 MPG combined number gives you a clear baseline for planning fuel spending.
