I believe that's attainable as well.

I owned a 12 Mustang w/3.7 DOHC V6 for a few years. It had a Tune, high-flow exhaust. I was able to get mid-high 30s MPGs on a regular basis. Hand calculated as well.

I've always felt that with some aerodynamic work the car was very capable of hitting 40 MPG. EASILY.
