    I guess you can't complain given the Horsepower, but still seems pretty low. You could more easily justify a higher performance electric car (presuming gas prices shoot up as they always do) at 16 mpg.

    This is the first Mustang that i actually like. I generally prefer German and Japanese sports cars, but now Mustang finally looks sophisticated and not like a toy.

    Nobody buys a V8 car for fuel economy.

    You don't buy a V8 for the economy, but even if you can afford to fill the tank regularly I doubt many people would complain if you didn't have to do it every few days with a lot of daily driving.
