I just walked in the door.. home sweet home Smile

I made 600 miles per tank solid this trip, with ~5 gallons left in the tank every time. That amounts to about 30 MPG. I showed up lots of cars and pretty much played the entire trip. lmao

I drove from Woodstock, GA to wayyy past Dayton, OH (I wish the meeting was sooner! haha) on my first tank. I then proceeded to Buffalo NY and into Canada on $35 in gas, and drove around town in Buffalo for about 50 miles.

The entire trip went without a hitch! I just have to fix my freakin A/C now.
Who cares :p
You're just jealous of my awesome gas mileage. Oh and my EGR doesn't even work. Big Grin
I am jealous that you have a turboford that will run 2000 miles.......and not over a period of years.
Nice going Ryan. And a V8 will do what for you?
We really need to tighten things up at the boarder. Apparently they are letting anybody across these days. :p
The V8 won't be much of a loss in mileage. Guys on TurboMustangs are reporting around 26-27 MPG with good tuning and the right selection in cam/heads. The build I plan will put the powerband down low and I am using the stock compression, so I'm pretty sure the mileage will stay in the mid 20's.
Glad to hear the trip went well.
Only 2000 miles?? :p
Glad it went alright. I really think the car is more reliable than we give it credit for.
