Best tank(all highway@75mph)was 406 miles on 13.953 gals. An average tank(mostly town driving)is 250-300 miles and I'm not an easy driver. I just love the gas mileage this Mustang gets.

I usually average 33o miles per full tank, that's on my stock 16" wheels. Just went to 19" wheels adn saw a pretty dramatic decrease in mileage, of about 30 miles per a full tank. But I love the new wheels so I will deal with it.

    I just got my car last week w/ probably a few gallons out of the tank and I got 282.6 miles before I had to fill up this week.  I'd say about a 50/50 mix of city and highway driving.

    LOL Sorry but I had too :)

    In all honesty, I get 300 - 330 miles per tank (of gas).  Since I added my gears/tune, I get that on highway, or in city.  Seems like my mileage stays the same, which is ok since i do mostly commute to work.

    Being that it is only a 15 gallon tank, and if your getting 220 miles per tank, that is roughly 15-16 miles per gallon.  Which seems like the kind of mileage I get when I am accelerating quickly alot.

    I get about 330-360 miles to a tank, that is driving 1/3 city and 2/3 highway back and forth to work. cruise at 75 on the highway, I get on it occasionally but not to often.

    there's a huge difference between 300+ per tank and less than 200...and I don't think driving habit would have that big of an affect would it?

    I drive around 25-30 miles a day on main road, no highway, and were averaging 17-19 MPG depending on road conditions. This week I tried the economy tune from the standard SCT flash tuner... And so far the estimate is 20-21 MPG...

    When I refill the car, the computer is always off by 1/2 gallons... Anybody got this also?
    I notice that since I used the tuner, the number is off by .2 gallons now... But need to confirm this.

    I don't know man, seems like everybody keeps bumping their mileage up, pretty soon wer'e gonna see people claiming "I GETS TEH 650 MILES PER TANK WITH MUSTANG!"

    I'm callin shenanigans on anything over 350 per tank, hell thats' even pretty good for a small 4 banger.

    I gey about 350 per tank. Average 22 mpg. The computer will tell you miles to empty but you still have 2 gallons left. Its a 16 gallon tank. Anything less than 20 unless you are running it really hard I would question. I've got 1400 miles on mine and it stays consistent. Last year went to fl with ac on and numbers didn't change. Hope this helps. Stock 07

    I range from 325-350 per tank. Half city, half highway. And I do get on her from time to time.
    ( like once or twice a day  )

    I would take it to another dealer or show them the window sticker.  It states milage much greater than 9 mpg! Like others have said even a heavy foot can't kill it that bad?  Only one question do you have the stock wheel setup?  I have heard that bigger wheels/ tires hurts the milage some.  My FR500 18"'s are in route! Oh well it is only money!
