If you have the Mustang that gets 31 mpg then you have the one with the High ratio rearend and those are not faster than the v6 camaro. The lower ratio rear in the V6 Mustang that gets 30 mpg is faster.

I really loathe cleaning the V8 wheels ...

I wouldn't know about the V6 but they SS wheels are easier to clean than my TA's wheels. Both seem to get dirty the instant I leave the driveway though.

not sure how a simple 5 spoke rim is hard to clean, and no rivets or anything...

On the V6 there is a lot more room to get in there, with the smaller rotors and calipers. I've been washing both cars every week for the past two years, and the SS is much more difficult and a pain to do.
