RE: MPG on a V6 Mustang
I've noticed some differences in my MPG depending on the gas I use:
Citgo - 21/27mpg city/hwy
Hess - 18/24
Mobil - 21/30
BP - 25/31
Sunoco - 25/33
I typically drive around 40mph city and 70-75 highway...basically hover around 2000rpm
I shift out of first and second gear around 2500, the rest around 2000
I may be crazy, but I've also noticed that if I switch my gas brand every couple of weeks my mileage will be better at first...I'll do this from almost an empty tank

RE: MPG on a V6 Mustang
How in the world do you guys shift at 2000 RPMS 
Maybe it's my age.. I'm 24 and I don't shift below 3000 RPM. I like to accelerate and I found when I shift at 2000 RPM I'm watching all the buicks, tacomas, and civics pass me by. Heck, even the autos shift around 2500. Ah I suppose it's in the name of good gas mileage. But I'd feel embarassed accelerating off the stoplight in a mustang at the pace of an old lady

I usually get at leaste 19 mpg. My driving style changing very often, one day i fell like taking off slow and others i feel overly aggressive. All the same it never drops below that. Try reseting it every once in a while too, seems to be more accurate that way.

RE: MPG on a V6 Mustang
que? Oh man ok ok i made a type-o so what? Do you know how to raise your ocatne level above 91 octane without any off the shelf additive's? I was at work all day from gosh I dont know 5am to 5pm you want me to type straight I cant even spell. Who cares besides you? Do you even have a mod list? Do you even actualy have a modification or even better do you actualy have a mustang or are you just a camaro owner incognito. Wait I know your true purpose to brown nose sceeming isnt that it?
