My GT has right at 500 miles on the odometer and I'm seeing 15mpg (mixed driving in the hills). It's a 6-speed manual with the performance package, so 3.73 gears.
15' Automatic with 3:55 gears.
310 Round trip 100% highway i averaged 30.4 mph
Driving around town I average 22 mpg if I drive sensibly and as low as 18 if I'm really getting in to it.
FWIW, car as just over 1k miles on it (1047 to be exact) and has a Vortech JT trim supercharger setup and Magnaflow cat back. The car is also custom tuned which can account for some of the gains here as well.

15 mpg
6-spd
3.73's
stop and go traffic half the time, slow moving traffic the other half.
Level of hot rodding: Sometimes.
Now under traveling circumstances, like a weekend trip half hour away, around 20 mpg.
No interstate trips yet so I can't give an accurate highway mileage.

If those miles are pretty much all highway miles, then you should have no problem hitting 25 mpg with an at/mt on 3.15/3.31 gears. My '13 GT mt\3.31 gears got 25 doing a 40 mile round trip to work, and i don't baby the car.
My '15 isn't broke in yet as i'm running it in higher gears and still getting 22-23, which is even better than when i broke in my '13, so i'm hoping for 25 or more out of this once i break 1k miles.

Been meaning to update this response for a couple weeks now. After putting a few thousand miles on the car, both car and driver have settled down into 16.8-16.9 average mpg.

2300miles on my GT w/PP 3.73rear and I'm getting 20mpg. 60%highway 40 city. I could probably get more if I was easy on the throttle. The 3.73 kills mpg but you don't buy a GT for fuel efficiency.
Hate to show off my epic highway mileage, but I have too! 5.0 V8, Auto, 3.15 gears.
This first pic is about 300+ miles, non stop, doing 75-78 mph on the interstate in Florida and Georgia.
This second pic is an average of my daily driving to work, over 2000 miles worth.

Frustrated that they didn't opt for the V8 would be my guess.

I'm getting around 21 - 25 mpg (depending on if I have to race a Camero or something). But, if I drive with the cruise on I can get right at 24 pretty steady. 5.0 Manual Tranny, 3.73 rear.
I have a 50 mile ride to work, so I can usually get a pretty good gauge.
If there's moderate traffic and I have to slow down, I get higher mileage for some reason.
