I didn't notice that before my first post on this thread. Yeah, a 1/8 tank fill is insignificant.
I expect to post another 31+ MPG entry in my fuel log tomorrow morning if my factory "game gauge" isn't exaggerating too much...

Most of us have. Its an addiction/ obsession. There's no escape from it. Those who don't understand are doomed to complain about fuel prices for eternity.

I'm trying the neutral coasting ecomodder tip, and driving on the back roads instead of the highway. I'll be interested to see if the mpg goes up.

Ah, back roads, and manual trans coast down, wish I had those options!

The little 2.3 has a lot of nice potential to it, and the later Mustangs are quite slick through the air compared to some.
