2011 Ford Mustang V6 First 300 HP+ Car To Achieve 31 MPG

2011 Ford Mustang V6 EPA certification has just finished and, though Ford predicted 30MPG from their 305HP 3.7-liter V6, they actually got 31 MPG. According to Ford, it’s the first 300HP+ car ever to return over 30MPG. Having cake, eating it too.

The cake is a lie. No one will ever achieve 31 MPG in real-world conditions because it’s a Mustang, and people who buy Mustangs generally don’t drive like grannies. But I tip my hat to Ford’s engineers for their not inconsiderable accomplishment. Reply
