RE: MPG check
If your getting 29 mpg on the highway, 22-23 should be attainable city driving. I should try driving 65 and see if I can achieve 29 mpg. I thought 27 mpg was excellent. The next time I take a trip south in my Mach I'll slow down.

Excellent! Gas mileage is all about that right foot.

RE: MPG check
I'm seeing some great mileage. I don't see why a lot of people think a GT/Cobra/Mach get worse mileage than a V6 because I'll tell you the V6 is worse! I get 24 highway at 65mph in my 03 V6 and 22 city and thats taking it easy. Most of you guys beat that and still have fun! Hell, my 5.0 is almost as good as the V6 Getting a V6 for gas reasons is irrelavent IMO, you guys are doing great with the Mach's[sm=icon_cheers.gif]
