hi i am dominic, i just got my new mustang and was wondering how i could get the best gas millage out of it. its all stock besides shorty stock headers and straight pipes no cats. ive changed the oil and checked all the fluids already. do you guys have any other recommendations? thanks in advance

cleaning the MAF, new O2's some gears to reduce highway rpm and make your car slower...i got 28mpg in my 91 gt vert with the stock 2.73 gears

Not trying to sound like a dick, but you have a v8. If you're worried about the gas mileage maybe you should buy a DD.

Anyways, one thing to keep an eye on is your tire pressure.

I know it's a v8 I just want to get better mileage than 12 mpg I want to get atleast 19 to 20

Wow, maybe drive it easier? I get 20 in a modded 5.0. Don't use the A/C even though it's hot where you are.

12mpg?? wow!!! u must have a lead foot. cruise your stang and you'll be surprised on the mpg it can give you.

You can have your cake and eat it too.

With 4.10s, underdrives, 245-45-17s, no cats, e-fan and timing set to 14deg I get 20.x on a regualar basis. And I go 0-60 WOT every chance I get.
I drive the speed limits.. but I get there fast every possible opportunity. ;-)

Recently went on a 1300mile road trip and got 25.xmpg I averaged a little slower than traffic @ 63mph but... 4.10s with windows down the entire time and getting 25mpg is "cool" in my book.

One thing often over looked but well worth the trouble is a properly working EGR system. (it recycles a small % of exhaust which is inert gasses and displaces air & fuel)

Lol I don't have lead foot I cruise and it still gets about 12

then you need to do some diagnostic work. is it throwing any codes?
