Velvet:

According to your numbers, you're getting about 9.5 mpg city driving, which is too low, even for an AOD Mustang 5.0.

I suspect your gas gauge is off as most are.

FYI: The tank holds 15.4 gallons.

Use the mpg-estimating method outlined by Maroon 5.0 LX in a previous post to determine your actual mileage.

Warning: Being 'heavy-footed' in traffic situations will kill your gas mileage. The 5.0 is rather unforgiving there, but check the mpg - the right way - again. You should be seeing low-to-mid teens for city driving.
