On the Interstate running 75 plus I am around 22 MPG with all of my mods. In town and because of the drone, I usually am running mostly 3rd gear and around 3000 RPMs so my MPG is way down... probably close to you. Maybe 8 - 10. But hey, that is the price we pay to play!!!

If you had your car dyno run or retuned which you should have then you can expect really low mpg. I had cams installed a few days ago. Day after I got it back 8.6. Day later 10.8 and now today around 11mpg. And I'm no lighter on the gas then I was before. 
Expect a 1-2mpg loss at most. They do lower mpg because of how they affect the car. More gas is needed in lower rpm to keep it as smooth as a no cam mustang. It's well worth it though.
