It must be your supercharger... I should get one and maybe it will pay for itself 
But I dont doubt the hwy mileage at all 25-26 mpg is feasible on the highway.

I do about 240-280 to the tank. I do mostly town driving with highway maybe once a week at most for maybe 10 minutes. I am not in the city though. I am in a small town of about 18,000 people.

Yea that's the kind of mileage I get. I would be pointing fingers at your ecu personally. Especially if you don't have any fuel system mods.

Wow...you guys really drive conservatably...
I get maybe like....190ish to the tank, 1/2 driving hard, 1/2 driving normal...my 4.10's don't help at all. I shift at 4k in 1st gear almost every 4 lights or so.
Granted, I don't do much highway driving. Mostly all city, andI drive normally most of the time. But like last night,I had $15.00 in gas from empty, so about a little more than 1/4 tank. I punched it out the gas station and 2 minutes later I was at 1/4 tank.
I think I need a tune, really badly. I smell fuel in my exhaust. [>:]

RE: MY MUSTANG BURNS TOO MUCH GAS. EVEN FOR A MUSTANG
If you smell fuel in your exhaust then your probably running too rich and doesn't necessarily mean it gives you more power. If anything your not getting a good A/F mixture and it's hurting your performance and gas mileage. Might want to try and get a tune sometime. I don't driveto conservative, but 300+ miles a tank only happens on the highway. In town I wouldn't be able to even guess. Maybe 220-250ish?
