      The Ford Mustang has been on the U.S. car market since 1964, prompting Edmunds to call it the "longest surviving of the affordable breed of classic American muscle cars." Those many years of production mean there's an ample supply of used Ford Mustangs on the market, including those from the 1996 model year. The government's fuel economy website supplies mileage estimates for this and other used vehicles.

    City Driving

    • The 1996 Ford Mustang with a 3.8-liter, six-cylinder engine gets 18 mpg when you drive in town, whether you have a manual or automatic transmission. A 1996 Mustang with a 4.6-liter V8 engine and automatic transmission nets 15 mpg in the city. You'll get 16 mpg in the city from a 1996 Mustang with the 4.6-liter V8 engine and a manual transmission.

    Highway Driving

    • When driving on the interstate, the 1996 Ford Mustang with a 3.8-liter six-cylinder engine produces 27 mpg, regardless of transmission type. Expect 22 mpg on the highway from a 1996 Mustang with a 4.6-liter V8 engine and automatic transmission and 25 mpg if equipped with a manual transmission.

    Maximize Your Mileage

    • The federal government says the way you drive can impact the amount of fuel your car uses. To get the most mileage out of each gallon, the U.S. Department of Energy advises you to drive at the speed limit and avoid unnecessary idling. Remove unneeded items from your vehicle to reduce weight, and keep your tires inflated to the proper level. The government also suggests that you use the grade of motor oil recommended by your car's manufacturer if you want to improve gas mileage.
