What it is

This 2019 Mustang is sold under Roush Performance. It is a car with rear-wheel drive, gasoline fuel, and a 5.0-liter, 8-cylinder supercharged engine.

The EPA class is Subcompact Cars. Its defining number is 15 MPG combined.

The numbers

The EPA rates it at 12 MPG in city driving and 19 MPG on the highway. The combined 15 MPG figure blends those conditions into one everyday reference point.

At 15 MPG, each 15 miles uses about one gallon of gasoline. City trips use fuel faster than highway miles because the city rating is 12 MPG.

What it costs to run

EPA annual fuel cost is $5,500. That is the listed yearly gasoline expense tied to its 15 MPG combined rating.

Tailpipe CO2 is 600 grams per mile.

How it compares

You can line it up with other Roush Performance cars by using combined, city, and highway MPG. This Mustang's reference points are 15 combined, 12 city, and 19 highway MPG.

Who it suits

This car fits a buyer who wants a Roush Mustang with rear-wheel drive and accepts high gasoline use. The highway rating may matter more if most of your miles are on open roads.

Its subcompact-car classification may suit someone seeking a smaller car rather than a larger body style.

Trade-offs

The supercharged 5.0-liter, 8-cylinder engine and rear-wheel drive define the powertrain, but the EPA numbers show a high fuel bill: $5,500 per year and 15 MPG combined.

Fuel use varies by route. The 12 MPG city rating is notably lower than the 19 MPG highway rating, so frequent stop-and-go driving will not match its highway result.

Verdict

Choose this Mustang if its Roush identity, rear-drive layout, and supercharged eight-cylinder engine matter more to you than fuel spending.

For a buyer focused on lower running costs, the 15 MPG combined rating and $5,500 annual fuel figure are the central drawbacks. The city and highway ratings also make driving pattern important: urban use is rated at 12 MPG, while highway travel reaches 19 MPG.
