* The 3.8L V6: This was the most common engine. Expect city MPG in the low-to-mid teens and highway MPG in the low-to-mid 20s. Actual mileage would depend on driving habits and vehicle condition.
* The 4.6L V8 (GT): This higher-performance engine would have considerably lower fuel economy, likely in the single digits for city driving and perhaps the low-to-mid teens on the highway.
* The 5.0L V8 (Cobra): This would be the least fuel-efficient option, possibly even lower than the GT.
To find a more precise estimate, you'd need to know the *specific* engine in the 1996 Mustang you're interested in. You can usually find this information on the vehicle's identification plate (often located on the driver's side dashboard or doorjamb). Once you know the engine, you can search online for EPA fuel economy estimates for that specific year and model.
