probably closer to 28-29 according to Old mech's link.
I got 27+ all day long in a 66 mustang Sprint. 200 ci straight six w/ a single 1 bll and and auto matic 3 speed w/ 2.76 rear end (no a/c)
I think I ran a F70 14 tire which was slightly taller then the stock size.
I drove it back and forth to college (180 miles each way) so even back then, mileage was important to me.
I hooked up a cruise control and found a led guage that read mpg etc. I had to tell it how many gallons I put in each fill up to keep it accurate. It was really pretty cool. Like the precurser to the scangauge.
I also ran clifford headers - a 3-2-1 desgin. Ended up with the headers collecting into a single 2" pipe and a single in/dual out muffler. I ran GT tips in the pack.
Had to be the coolest sounding 6 banger in town!
