Gas Consumption

What's the best gas mileage you have ever gotten in your Mustang? What gears and how many hp are you running with?

I'll start:

500 km on 52 litres (28 mpg Canadian, 24 mpg US), driving at about 125 km/h. 4.10 gears, 420 hp.

It's a V8. I get about the same as you around town, maybe 350km on a tank. Highway is a huge difference though almost 50% more efficiency.
