Ford's Mustang has already impressed enthusiast of both green cars and
muscle - by being the first 31 MPG along with 305 horsepower.
Ford has been emphasizing the efficiency of its new 2011 Mustang V6. The automaker's latest promotion, Mustang 1,000 Lap Challenge, demonstrated how a stock production Mustang V-6 could run 1,000 laps (aka 533 miles) around Bristol Motor Speedway on a single of tank of fuel.
When the dust settled, the Mustang not only completed the challenge, but had actually went 1,457 laps (776.5 miles) before the tank ran dry. Do the math, or not because Ford did: an average of 48.5 mpg.
The 2011 Mustang averaged a mere 43.9 mph during the 12-hour and 26-minute test, a ridiculously slow speed for a track that's normally host to Nascar races that exceed 100 mph.
A low cruising speed made possible by the oval track's lack of obstructions, combined with the fuel efficient driving techniques of Ford's team of drivers were necessary in order for the Mustang to meet the 1,000 Lap Challenge.
