As a former mustang owner it is not cams and newer technology. My 4.6 got worse milage than my C6 vette. My musuem pushrod Z06 gets 24mpg on the freeway. 3.42 gears and lighter which is better the the exotic overhead cam current gt 500.

My .02 would be 3.31 gears and 400lbs of wieght advantage. Weight is a huge factor that people forget. They have not avoided it yet though. I think they could though. Big torque and tall gears helps. That is why the Z06 avoids it.
