A couple of quarter mile passes will fix the MPG you are seeing.

Hey, I am grandpa, and the best I can do is 21+, most of the time I average 19.

Wait until your engine gets broken in. It will get amazing gas mileage.

Heck, getting the fuel economy readout to say 99.9 mpg in a Mustang is nothing. I used to have a 18 wheeler with a 600 HP 2050 TQ motor that would do that pretty often and it didn't have a reset button for the readout.

I do drive like a grandpa!! My '11 5.0 gets better than I could have imagined MPG! Didn't take a pic & I don't have my phone with me. I got 32 going 65 @ night 1 night. I was on a bridge going across a river. I put it into phone cuz that's just what I do. I get 25 going 70 during the day. I drive to get better mileage, though! If gets too high, I turn my A/C off.

I can't wait till she's broken in. Didn't know it'd get better! Thanks!! I'm 33, too.

@ 90 MPH, I get like 3.5 though.

I got 32 MPG on night of 10/21/10. Took note mainly for people that says it's not possible. It was around 9-10:00. About 65 degrees, Forgot to get that! I reset it cause I was on a pretty flat surface.

It's not possible.

Show me a tankfull of gas against miles driven that calculates out to 32 MPG on a 2011 GT.

my posted thread has lots of pics to prove you can do it in a modded mustang. I get the same milage going to vegas and new mexico and those are 100% flat land with some small humps every now and then. Also I was not driving for milage as you can see by the speed. I can say I have gotte almost the same result with all my mustangs other then my 2010 gt(cuz it was junk). Also the car in my thread is a shelby gt(my old car) and has much worse fuel ratings then a normal mustang. people wants facts? pictures good enough?

All I know is @ that exact time, already know it's not that reliable, I got 32. I was there, were you? Didn't say I averaged that an entire tank. 1st tank I got 23.1. Haven't matched that #. Prob averaged about @ 19 per my tank?

I gotta V6 PP and I cant seem to get higher then like 21............... is something wrong?!?!?!? I did think it was gonna be better then that. Or does it get higher the lower I let my tank get?!?!?!?IDK but I did think it was odd...the first mile once I reset might say 29 but then it just drops ):
