Thanks! I'm kinda disappointed but not surprised

The one thing to note on these window stickers is that this thing is a 401A which means it has all the options which means a lot of extra weight, especially the seats and shaker system. It also has the PP which has 19" tires and even more add ons.
I want to see a base EB and the sticker for that. I bet it's a lot better MPG.

The performance package comes with a 3.55 rear end gear ratio. That will certainly effect highway mpg. A base model ecoboost with 3.15 gear ratio should be higher.. Maybe around mid 30's :shrug:

I was really hoping for 34-35, which would bring the PP version closer to 31. The PP will probably take us to about 28.
And what octane rating is the sticker's number at, 93?

Read the Included On This Vehicle Again...this has PP and the 50th package among other upgrades
This is right around what I expected. Real world MPG on a base model will probably be 2-3 mpg better!

Awesome, thanks! I saw the 18" wheels and spoiler at the top, but didn't go through all the accessories to pick up on this.
And to answer my own question for the benefit of others, the EPA number is measured with 93 octane with non ethanol blend ('pure' gasoline).

Not funny at all. The price of the car trim and options are even higher in Canada, which would put this car at 43,249 + the cost of the 201A package (I'm not sure what the Canadian price is).
I think the figures are very disappointing, especially since the only reason I was thinking to get back into a Mustang at all was the possibility of not giving up too much of the great MPG I've gotten used to over the past two years.
The fact that the 3.7 was downrated, though, may just indicate that Ford's latest round of reformulating its economy tests has resulting in more accurate (i.e., less inflated) MPG figures.
However, those writing here about getting better MPG from a model without options or the PP will be very disappointed. The window stickers are always for the base car. Different stickers are not produced for the same model based on options. Therefore, they are always "best case". Consider that 2011-14 V6 automatics are always rated 31 MPG highway (which assumes 2.73 gears) even if the particular car has 3.31 gears optioned alone or as part of the PP and will thus get significantly lower mileage. The car stickered here will get nowhere near the stated mileage (due to 3.55 gears vs 3.15 and the option weights). This is standard practice and perfectly legal.
