lol i would be happy with 255 per tank i average ~200 with my driving.! Keep the RPMs under 2k or so. Cruise at ~60 lol basically drive it like a 95 year old woman.

I average 180 to 200 per tank. Not like you are going to get good MPG with a V8 Mustang. Mine is not a daily driver. My daily driver is a Supercrew that is modded and I get 10.5 MPG in it. I average 225 ish to a 22 gal tank. You just have to suck it up or drive it slower than a grandma.

dude, every time you hammer it, don't even think about mpg. I am pretty heavy footed... I don't go to the tank is empty I fill up at about 1/2, and I average anywhere from 14-17 around here. I've gotten 24 with city/highway mix. I'm sure I can get close to 30 pure highway.

nah, I get about 110 per 1/2 tank... sooo you are on the same. There are times where I have gotten my best mpg by just very lightly cruising. And when you think about it, you don't have to hammer it to get down the block.

I used to hammer it more often when I first got the car, but now I'm starting to mellow out
