RE: fuel economy
when i first got my car i drove it fast but kept the rpms resonalbly low, with the 5.0 you can pull off shifts in a manual at 1500 at not even bog the engine, back then i was getting 22-25 around town, and actually less on the highway
shifting around 1800-2500 these days is looking like 15

RE: fuel economy
I get about 22 on the high way and 8 in town (heavy foot!). And my car has 275' on the back with 245 on the front. Thats alot of rubber on the ground. I drive an sn95 though (a lil more aerodynamic i think). I also have 18 inch bullits. BTW man, a mustang is a PERFORMANCE car. Gas mileage, smashmileage! haha jk
