you can post all the proof you want. people are still going to use mpg as an excuse until they actually have gears put in.

Exactly, my other car is a
f150 Supercrew with mods. I have a tuner in it and it actually get worst mileage than my stang. If you want to play then you have to pay.

Everyone seems to ask about 4.10`s and gas mileage. Heres a copy of my last receipt when I filled up. I had 267 miles on my trip when I filled up at the time. Comes out to 20.26 MPG. So heres proof that 4.10`s are not as bad as most think.
Is that in town or on the highway?

exactly the same as mine, as long as I don't get caught in traffic on 395 everyday...(yeah right) then it's down to 17.

That's your problem. I shift around 3k (sometimes 4k, once in a while 6k) and get 24-25 mpg. The worst I've gotten is 22.5 (#@$ traffic jams). This is with an average speed of around 35 mph. Let that Mustang breathe....
