My 98 vert 3.8L/auto got about 18mpg city, and 27mpg highway.  That car was stock.  My modded 06 4.0L/5spd coupe gets 18.5mpg city, and 26mpg highway, and it has 4.10:1 gears!

To the OP, there are lots of choices for cars with decent mileage and looks/performance.  A V6 Mustang is a fair compromise on all three of those areas.

I just bought a new 08.   After the 1st 1000 miles, I am averaging 22 combined, and I got 27 on a 400 mile round trip that I took.

I can tell you gas millage SUCKS in the 1st 1000 miles (the manual even says not to bother checking mpg in the 1st 1000).

On mixed driving commuting, I get 22.  On the highway at 80mph, I get 31.  I think the car has enough power.  Certainly not a rocket, but handles big hills at high altitude without any problems; no need to downshift.
