I am getting about 19.5 average, but i mostly do city driving and I am getting a tuner in a few weeks so I should get even better mileage then. In the 20s sounds pretty good to me.

I get around 22 on average - I drive a lot of highway miles, very little in town driving. Although it's hard to say right now because Michigan has grown a great crop of "orange barrels" this year, and my drive is plagued by them - some nights I average only 19 MPH for a good portion of my drive.

my best tank was 31.8mpg (i dont have iup, so this is done by filling up and doin the math). this was 99.9% highway driving on a road trip.
my average before the turbo was about 23/24mpg with the 3.73s and abou 26mph with the 3.31s
my average since putting the turbo on is 21-23

I can usually get around 28mpg if I keep my foot off the right pedal. I drive about 60 miles round trip to work everyday, all highway. But lately I've been a lead foot and I've been getting around 20mpg's.

I've only had my car about 1.5 to 2 months and Idrive about80/20 highway/city plus I put the Flowmaster AT on there. I drive about 70 miles round trip for work each day and I get about between 23-25 mpg. I traded my honda civic in on this car that consistantly got 41mpg. That's a hard hit at the gas pump but the driving pleasure well over-compensates for that hit. I try to take it easy on the pedal but that Flowmaster and this awesome stang just screams punch it at least onceeach way on my commute. I took a 350 mileroad trip that was about all highway a few weeks agoand averaged 80mph, I got about 26 mpg on that trip which is the best I've gotten so far.

This car is the most incredible car I've ever owned or driven. I love my Stang

Drive between 57 and 62... (This is for autos btw...) You'll get 30 mpg and I'm not even kidding. I don't drive that slow on my hwy commutes though so I get around 19 mpg, but today I just got a dual exhaust, which has upped it so far to 21.5. I don't do much in town driving though so I don't have any numbers for that.
