I hand calculate all my mpg's, the meter can be +/- 2mpg's or spot on...can't figure it out. I usually get about 16.5 in the city, the worst I've done is 15.1 and the best I've done is 18.5 all city by using the 2,4,6 gears under 2k shifts (that was a long and boring tank) just to see what it would do. On the highway I cruise about 10 over the limit so 75 to 85 and get 23.5 with the ac on and 24.5 with it off. I even drove through 3/4 of a tank with the cruise set on 100 and only slowed for traffic and the occasional CHP cruiser and got 22.1 for that fill up. I'm pretty impressed with my 3.31 gears and the highway manners of this car. On a side note, I just gassed up today at a Chevron station I rarely use (it's more expensive than other Chevrons) and only cause I was close to home, and when I was done I got a whiff of gas, and I mean real gas, not the oxygenated ethanol smelling crap. I found that really unusual as it is not labeled any differently. We'll see what the mileage does this tank.

You will eventually care less about MPG when you realize that you have to pay in order to play. Unless you have a GF or wife. But for now this is what i go by.

I have a 2011 Mustang GT convertible stock.
I drive 90% highway and I usually see anywhere from 24.5 to 26.5 mpg average. I usually set cruise control to 80 on the highway.

You're missing the point, I can fill my car up and reset the milage and get 18+ mpg before I even pull out of the station. Now with 0.4 gallons used lay into it on a 1-2-3 pull and watch the 6-7mpg roll up.

No, you can't. Reset = 0 MPG. In fact, as soon as you take off you'll be low MPG until you hit a highway. You have to actually drive to accumulate mileage. Learn to calculate MPG.

It's a 20 minute drive over 18 miles which used .4 gal and produced 38 MPG. No cheating and you can't reproduce that without actually driving it.

Guys I got a 12 GT 3.73 here I'd like to know what's the best spot to shift up and ideal rpm I should be driving at for fuel Econ.... I try to stay under 2000 but the on board fuel Econ shows going down when rpm is low... According to on board computer my bars go up when I'm in 4th gear at 2700 rpm
