The wife and I bought a new eco boost mustang when they came out in ‘15. It was a 6 speed performance pack. It was fun, but neither of us got anywhere near the claimed mileage, and it didn’t make fun noises either. We were getting 20-22 in mixed driving, and on long haul interstate going 80 it got 27-28. The kicker was the drivers seat killed my back. We traded it in at 1 year and 10k miles on a ‘16 Challenger 5.7L 6 spd shaker R/T. The Challenger easily does 20 in mixed, and 25-26 on the super slab, cruise on 83 mph. For reference, the 2001 mustang bullitt 4.6 5 spd that we had before the eco-mustang got 20-22 mixed and 25-26 highway with 100 less hp and probably 800 lbs less than the challenger. I had higher hopes for the mustang but it just didn’t deliver for us.
