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

Because it's not just that the lower the rpms, the better the gas mileage. With 3.55s on the highway, I never have to do more than give it the weight of my foot upon the gas pedal to keep up with traffic. With 2.73s, I had to either lug it on the highway from time to time, or downshift. My mileage didn't really change much when I got 3.55s...if anything, it got better overall.
