Well I did this just because I'm new with mustangs and I'm curious, I didn't know there have been many other threads like this, and my buddy with a stock gt says that he gets 300 miles out of a full tank, I was surprised and didn't think there was that big of a difference between our cars.

With only Cherry Bomb Extreme mufflers and 5 speed tranny I get a consistent 25 MPG HWY/City mixed.

few mods in sig. i have never calculated my city driving because it seems to vary too much with where I shift and how I drive. Consistently on the highway going ten over speed limit at all times i have gotten 26.99 mpg.

JoaquinGT- why do you keep caring about miles per tank?? and if you run it till low fuel light comes on that is so bad.

you will never get all the fuel out so best to do is miles driven and gallons used
