Ford has done it again. Today, the company released mileage figures for the upcoming 2011 Mustang GT with its new 5.0-liter engine. Not only does it have 87 more horsepower, it will get better mileage, too, up to 17/26 mpg city/highway for the six-speed manual from last year’s 16/24.

If you move to the automatic, the highway figure drops, but the city mileage goes up, to 18/25 mpg.

These numbers also best the Chevy Camaro’s mileage of 16/24 mpg, but the Camaro also puts out more horsepower, 426 hp with its six-speed manual. The Camaro is also 250 pounds heavier.
