Gas mileage

Hey All,
Just out of curiosity, what kind of gas mileage are you able to get. My GT window sticker claims 17/25 (city/highway), now I am under no delusion, I do understand that those numbers are not always correct and driving habbits will play heavily on individual results, but to date, the best I can get in my GT Vert is 19.2 mpg. I do not race it, it has not been over 100 mph (yet), I do not use the AC, and I practice decent drving habits (mainly because my 4-yr old daughter is usually with me), but I still get significantly lower mileage than what is advertised by Ford or reported by the car magazines. How are the rest of you doing with mileage?

I get 15 in town and 25-26 on the highway at 70-75 MPH. Even though I know it is not supposed to make any difference, I swear I get better mileage on mid-grade versus regular; 2-3 miles per gallon. Was getting 23 MPH on regular. Guy in my Mustang club with an 05 GT says same thing - better mileage on mid-grade. Again, I know it is not supposed to make any difference, BUT

When running on regular or mid-grade I get a bit of a throttle delay; however, on regular, once the engine responds it bogs a bit before taking off. On mid-grade I get the delay, but the engine has no hesitiation after that. Yes, I know it should not matter. Discovered this all by accident on a trip when I stopped for gas and the station was out of regular.

Or maybe it is just all in my head...
