For a super car like the Ford GT it isn't bad. It sure as hell is better than 4 mpg.
The Ford GT is not a daily driver, it wasn't meant to be.
Then one has to ask ... what is the point of such a car if it is not for daily driving...
A car is a tool, nothing more nothing less.. and the more reliable and less cost that is involved in running said tool the better.
And here the Germans are on top when compared to the US. Only Ford Europe can even get close.
However the Germans are not the best on km/liter per say. The French are a tad better if you ask me on that front as they are also more technological advanced.. often too much heh.. However the Germans through their Spanish SEAT wing have launched a car that goes 70+km/liter not long ago.
But lets not forget FIAT. Long the joke of the car world, now makes some of the most attractive and sold cars in Europe and soon around the world. They are often more reliable than German cars and go further on the liter than German cars. Plus they provide quite nice design and technology in the cars for a good price. If the FIAT CEO can do to Chrysler what he did to FIAT, then look out Ford and GM.
Now the ironic thing is that Ford is selling Volvo who has a 70+km/liter engine already and has in many ways provided many of the advances that Ford has used in their US cars..
