Welcome aboard from a fellow Mustang owner.
Since you've actually started a fuel log with believable numbers, it's quite apparent that you're NOT a troll. But if you had claimed in your first post that you got 30 MPG, no matter how you drove it, then....

..Yep, getting a ScanGauge or equivalent will help more than just about anything. It'll pay for itself too. (Plus, you can easily re-sell it later if you want.)
Yeah, what MetroMPG said!
Unlike most members here, I bought a ScanGauge about 11 months before I found ecomodder.com. It helped me figure out my most fuel efficient commuting routes and more efficient driving techniques. Then ecomodder.com's 100+ Hypermiling Tips helped me make some more minor adjustments to the "nut behind the steering wheel".
I'm currently using the latest version of the UltraGauge for instrumentation. And I just noticed on their website that they have reduced the price by $9. It's now $60.95 after $9 mail-in reward.

I love the look on people's faces when I tell them I've gotten over 31 MPG commuting to work with V-6 Mustang.

Best of luck in your MPG competition with your friend!
