Yes it is, but it is still high performance.
In the traditional hi-po world, you're trying to wring the most power out of the vehicle, usually to cover the most distance in the least amount of time. In ecomodding you're trying to wring the most energy - a somewhat different but related measurement - out of the fuel to cover the greatest distance on the least amount of fuel.
The equations are similar but you're trying to drive different graphs in different directions.
Care to share a time slip from your Mustang? You don't squeeze that kind of muscle out of an engine without staging at the lights at least once in a while. I mean, what would be the point?
It would be interesting to see what kind of mileage you could draw out of the Mustang. Especially on E85 - which I don't consider all that green, all things considered - which doesn't get a lot of coverage here. I know you take a big mileage hit on E85; if you could bring it back to something decent, that would be something to explore.
