Curious what kind of gas mileage do Mustangs get on track? With fuel prices going up poor fuel economy can add up. I know they are decent if you stay off the throttle but once your on throttle they must suck copius amounts of dead dino juice?

Also being sooo much heavier they must eat brake pads and tires like crazy.

I was surprised at how good my tire wear has been on track with the 370Z. I had a set of A6 Hoosiers with 6 autocrosses and did full day of 20 minute sessions on same tires and they still have a ton of tread. I suspect a Mustang wouldnt be so kind to soft tire like that?
