How many miles per gallon (mpg) does a Model T get?
Contrary to the crazy numbers like 25 mpg that have been floating about the internet these days, the Model T engine is not terribly efficient compared to modern ones. While our measurements are perhaps less than completely scientific, experience indicates that our Ts get about 10-12 miles per US gallon, depending on the countryside. 25 mpg might be possible if the test was all down hill, with a mast and sail afixed and a good tail wind. There ain’t no way a Model T Ford gets 25 mph or even close. Your mileage may vary.
