Holy Crap. I actually hit 27.7MPG on my ride home from work. Updated
Can't believe it. I'm shocked. Never seen anything above 25.2-3mpg for more than a second. Filled up by my job, trip was 33.9 miles, average speed was 64mph. I had the cruise set at 75mph for 95% of the trip. I'm down to 25.7mpg right now only because I had to jump off the line to get over to the turning lane by my house. I was over 26mpg for at least 5 mins.
Forgot to add I had the driver's window down. No AC. I almost never use AC because I love listening to my exhaust.
I've attached my MPG records since I've owned the car for anyone who cars. I run through 400+ miles a week. Change the file type from txt to csv and open with Excel.

This website is great for logging gas mileage. I always used to track my MPG on my others cars because a dip down was a good indicator of a some kind of drivetrain problem.
Update. I just hit 27.7 doing the same trip, but riding between 60-65mph. Gotta love the stang.

Yea how do you guys get such bad mileage? I do mostly city/suburban driving and am well into the 20's!

-heheh you're not the only one!
