s197 v-6 MPG is wrong
Ok guys. according to the EPA my 07 pony pkg v-6 should be getter 24-25 mpg highway.
im here to tell you that i consistently get 27-28 mpg and I AM A HARD DRIVER.
i drive my mustang the way it should be driven.
can any v-6 drivers back me up on this?
only reason i bring it up is cuz the EPA put camaro v-6 at 29mpg highway.

How are you figuring your mileage? Are you hand calculating or using the on-board "I-Can't Count-My-Own-Toes" computer? The on-board is typically 1-2 MPG conservative. Also, are you complaining about getting better gas mileage (assuming your calcs are correct) than you expected to get?
I can't speak on the V6 Camaro but who'd of thunk that a V8 Mustang can get 26 MPG or better highway (and that's off-highway pump-to-pump, hand calculated; not an instantaneous downhill with a 70 MPH tailwind punch-the-reset figure).
