Ok, there is a lot of amazing news going on in the automotive world today, and the 1A Auto blog is on it like a bonnet. Assuming this video is real, and not riddled with lies, this 2011 V6 mustang is capable of an unbelievable 48 MPG. It is supposed to get about 30-31 mpg, but during this 1000 lap challenge, they are claiming 48 miles per gallon. Is it a miracle? Is it a lie? Is the 2011 Mustang really that impressive? Who knows.
Call me strange, but I would absolutely love to read the O2 sensor readouts on a wideband to see what the AFR is. It’s got to be running crazy lean (magical?) air fuel ratios if this story is true.

600HP Vettes consistently get 35+ real world… so a 100hp Ferd should easily triple that!
…and the tach reads 750rpm at 19mph…that’s how you get 50mpg
Not believing it. The best I can produce, and only for short periods of time (not a whole tank), is the equivilent of a 446 mile tank of gas.
Granted, the conditions are not absolutely perfect when I drive, but flat level road. But they are talking about a 74% increase in fuel efficiency. I am not buying it.
clean your trunk out!
