highway im getting like 25, city i get about 17...

I can squeeze even more if i come acorss downhill areas. just pop it into neutral and coast it. I find myself doing that ALOT more. Plus I try to not downshift. Only when truley needed...

on a gas tank with 100 miles of city driving (about 1/2 tank) and going down to 1/8 of a tank left I had about 290 miles on the tank.

I filled it up half way for reassureance on the way home from the beach and im now at 380 miles on the tank + 3/8 with 1/4 left

I get 15-17 mpg, depending on how I drive through the streets.
I get 22-25 highway.

On the tank I believe I get 320 miles.

well guys you know you could always turn your stang into a hydrogen hybrid, theres stuff about em online, all you need is a small container and a conductor to turn the hydrogen in the water into a gas to get sucked into the intake for maximum burn friend of mine made one for an F250 that got 14.3 mpg, after a couple days it maxed out to 25.7 mpg so id say thats pretty decent for a truck like that, and only spending $30 and some change. my cars next hehe oh and you only have to replace the water once every six months

I get 22 mpg combined city/mostly highway driving. If I were to run the tank low enough to put 14.65 gallons in it, I would have gone 322.3 miles.
