The second biggest draw of the 2011 Mustang is its improved fuel economy in both the V6 and V8 models. The most impressive part of this improvement is that it comes with a large increase in power, proving that technology is certainly a good thing when it comes to engine efficiency.
On June 23rd, Ford Engineers took to Bristol Motor Speedway to see just what kind of mileage they could squeeze out of a V6 powered '11 Mustang. 12 1/2 hours later, the team covered 1,457 laps at an average speed of 43.9 miles per hour. The 16 gallon tank provided an amazing 48.5 mpg, and a total of 776.5 miles. Check out the video to see the hyper-miling in action.
