Gas mileage in your supercharged stang?

Gas mileage in your supercharged stang?
So I finally calculated it and got 16.4 mpg, I do all in town driving, and 1/3 of this tank that was spent on the interstate but I gunned it a few times and was stuck barely rolling for 30 minutes, so i'll say it was nearly all in town.
I'm quite surprised, I drive soft and slow when it's cold, but get on it at least twice a day, sometimes a lot more. My gas light started to flicker on when I still had 2.5 gallons left, so I plan to let it run emptier this time I check mpg.

That sounds about right. When I putz around town I get around 17 mpg. When I hit the highway I'm usually about 23.5 (all calculated).

Holy crap... how much whp are you putting down?
It's amazing that i'm getting over 16mpg when stock 4.6L is 15 city and 23 highway with average of 18.
It seems like once you get into boost, that your MPG doesn't necesarily get 'better', but you are able to squeeze a lot more power with only slightly more fuel. Essentally i'd be getting the same mpg if I werent boosted.
