I have some mpg experience with the Mustang. I have a 6cyl manual 2004 and have some experience with the mpg.

Mixed city highway almost 50/50 with a 30 mile commute I get 25mpg with no AC. On the highway I exceed the EPA of 29 for long trips at 65mph usually with 30-31 mpg. If I slow down to 60mph I usually get 33mpg.

The AC and speed take a serious toll. Full time AC use brings my commute combined from 25mpg to 22mpg.

I have used a scangauge so this is reasonably accurate info for my car.

I have a cold air kit and low rolling resistance tires (Conticontact ch95).
