unless u see the gas in the fill neck, u really don't know if u made a complete fillup, and that can give variances in mpg readings.
when i want to check for "best" mpg, i fill the tires to 36lbs, top the tank off until it is in the neck, shift at 3000rpm or below, and drive the same 70 mile loop at no more than 70mph.
my zx2, which usually does 30mpg or so in "real world" driving, will pull 38mpg on that loop under those conditions. i haven't taken the mustang out for a mpg try yet... maybe when the weather is better (damn rain).
