Default 2011 Ford Mustang V6 gets 48mpg at the 1000-Lap Challenge
While the driving conditions werent very realistic, this test shows how great of mileage the new Mustangs can get when babied...1457 laps around bristol on 16 gallons of gas....im impressed.

I wished they would have tested the mileage at 60-70 MPH. That would have been a more realistic test average.
