Well if u drive it regular than no different since the 6th gear helps a lot. But once u step on the cobra and hear that whine. Say bye to your gas lol

My friend drove his 03 cobra from hayward, to AED and back and still had a little more than a 1/4 tank left.. he got around 24mpg or something like that

You will see a difference in the city driving but on the highway it will be mostly the same. The 6th gear on the cobra is the same gear ration as 5th gear is to the mach, so their is no difference in that sense. But it come with the territory, i just don't pay attention anymore.

if your biggest question when buying a V8 mustang is the difference in gas mileage, you're in the wrong hobby...
