Green Sports car – 2011 Ford Mustang V6

Read an article the other day about a surprisingly fuel efficient 305 horsepower 2011 Ford Mustang V6 Pony car, that gets an amazing 31 miles per gallon on the highway. Review

Some of the innovations include:

• The new Electric Power Assist Steering (EPAS) system which eliminates the drag of an engine-operated hydraulic power steering pump
• Six-speed transmissions that allow lower cruising revs without sacrificing off-the-line performance
• Aerodynamic improvements such as a new front fascia, tire spats on the rear wheels, modified underbody shields, a taller air dam and an added rear decklid seal

Hopefully all this technology will trickle down to regular cars were mileage improvements will be even higher due to smaller engines.
