My Mustang also has a combined EPA estimate of 20 MPG. At about 68K miles, it still has the factory spark plugs and wires. Its fuel economy just seems to keep getting better as I make subtle adjustments to the "nut behind the steering wheel". My next fill-up's fuel economy will be down a bit, since I bought new tires 139 miles after my last fill-up.
My normal commute to work (6:30 AM) is 16.7 miles with 3 stop signs and 20 stoplights. In-town traffic at that time of day is not bad.
My normal commute home from work is 20.3 miles (15 miles of Interstate @ 65 MPH) with 5 stop signs. In-town traffic at 3:30 PM is a bit detrimental to FE.
On grocery day, my commute home is 18.7 miles (9 miles of Interstate) with 3 stop signs and 9 stoplights.
