I got 26mpg the other day (40/60 highway/city). I was quite happy  The wife had nearly 30mpg (80/20 highway/city) out of the ATX Mystique V6 the other week too ... so she's happy as well.

how is he pulling that kind of MPG when my Zetec cant even do that?
Probably highway, windows up, no a/c and overinflated tires. 
I usually get 24 mpg on the highway with the a/c on (windows up and properly inflated tires).

I don't usually drive fast at all and I only get 20-21 mpg, rarely more than 260 miles out of one tank.

I don't know how to classify the roads around here, it sure isn't highway driving with all the hills and stop signs, but it's not really city driving at all either, whatever way you want to classify my town, I get about 24-25MPG on average, and more on the highway, windows usually up, properly inflated tires, and I never use the AC.

I assume you are referencing my excellent math skills. Let me clarify. When I fill up my car, after the low fuel light has popped on, it will usually hold 13 gallons. As I recall, we have 14 gallon tanks. However, my 13 gallons usually lasts 260 miles.
I ran out of gas once, after the low fuel light had only been on for 5 miles, so I don't test it any more. Usually fill up once it gets under a half tank.

With PROPERLY inflated tires.. MAX A/C 100% of the time (infant child with me everywhere I go), and mixed driving (say... 60/40 city?)
I get 23.6-23.9mpg, repeatedly.
On the freeway I can push 28 with the AC or 30.1-ish without it.
EDIT: This is with the occasional romp through the twisties at my house, or a few "involved" accelerations.
