That actually doesn't sound particularly good to me for a V6. Under the driving conditions you listed, I'd expect an SS to return numbers like that. The last two tanks on my 5.0 commuting were 31.0 and 30.1. Granted, that was with ethanol-free gas (if you can find it, use it, it makes a surprisingly big difference), and only using A/C for a very small part of that.

Also, are you sure the computer is correct? Those can be off. You should check your receipts and actually calculate it out. You may actually have gotten better than 26.
