I drove to my hometown this summer (about a 650 km trip one way). I drive anywhere from 100 - 140 kms/hrs. I got 8.5 l/100kms. so that 27 mpg or there-about.I have a '16 PP with 3.73s, about 2200 kms on it so not broken in yet. Totally stock at the moment.
I get 9.0 L/100 km (about 26 mpg US) on the 4 lane highways at 75 mph but with mixed driving it is getting a little over 10 L/100 km (about 20-21 mpg US). That's a little worse than the '11 Brembo with 3.73s I traded on it. It's also nowhere near broken in yet but I'm not expecting, or really care much about getting it any better than that.
Not necessarily all in your right foot. I get the worst mileage when I'm not touching the gas at all -- at idle, with the automatic, the car will get up to about 8-10 mph. When you're in that kind of traffic when you don't ever get above ten mph for three or four straight hours, and you spend most of the time at a dead stop on the highway (the kind where a 10 mile trip takes you an entire afternoon), that's when you really get lousy mileage.Save your money, premium fuel isn't going to give you any extra mileage.
It's all in your right foot.
So you are saying I get 0 mpg while idling? ;)Not necessarily all in your right foot. I get the worst mileage when I'm not touching the gas at all -- at idle, with the automatic, the car will get up to about 8-10 mph.

The Coyote calls for Premium fuel..you know that right?Save your money, premium fuel isn't going to give you any extra mileage.

My 2016 GTPP with 3.73's is averaging right at 21mpg with 40% city, 60% highway. I don't baby it.
On road trips at 70mph I'm getting an honest 26.5mpg.
I only run 87 octane.
It calls for 87 octane. 93 is recommended to eek out the last few horsepower, but 87 is the requirement.The Coyote calls for Premium fuel..you know that right?
Just because it can run on 87 octane doesn't mean it's at it's best doing so. To get the full 435HP rating, you're going to have to run 93.
Then why are you complaining so much? Lol. You should try an older gen esp the foxbody 5.0L or older V8s. You think this car gets bad gas mileage. My friends old 87' GT who he stomped on the gas all the time you could literally watch the fuel gauge drop infront of your eyesIm driving the v8 like a v8! Flooring it everywhere and taking it up to red line all the time. Maybe that is why my mpg is so bad :shrug:. I drove my m3 the same way and I averaged 230 miles per tank but 170 in the mustang seems low.
My 94 got 26mpg on long highway trips and 19mpg with mixed driving. Not too far off from where we are today...except we have double the horsepower.Then why are you complaining so much? Lol.

We've come a really long way in MPG!
I only use 94 Octane in both my cars.
