I am usually 1-2-3-5 or 1-2-4-6. MPG has gone up now to about 15.5 even after a few WOT rolls in 2nd and 3rd. I'm hoping calm driving at around 1000 miles nets a decent 17mpg.

I'm gonna have to try what you guys are doing because I'm only averaging 15mpg

No need to use more than a few gears in regular driving.

Yeah man... a 2013 5.0 for me.
The pull of the Dark Side is strong.

I'd love to have kept my Z but it wasn't in the cards.

BTW I am only getting 14.8 miles per gallon so far... DOH!

Again Congrats to the OP on a Beautiful Ride!
You will have to keep us updated.

Congrats on the new car! Love the color scheme. Though, do find it a bit absurd that a "2013" model car is out before the halfway point of 2012. Maybe cars should just go to a versioning system rather than a year system. But that's neither here nor there.

It's true, seems like model years are coming sooner and sooner.

Mustangs have always been launched in the spring of the year before the year they are actually supposed to be.

Yep. It's mostly marketing. But it's harmless.

Welp my Jon Lund custom tune and JLT 127mm Carbon Fiber Big Air Intake are up and running. Thanks to Lethal Performance for the SCT Programmer and the quick delivery.

This is my first car to break the 700bhp mark.

Sounds deliciously sinister as well.

Very Very Nice!!! Curious whats the sticker price for one? and how many Hp this will run and the torque?
I wish i have a Genie so I can wish for one!
