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

You're just jealous of my awesome gas mileage. Oh and my EGR doesn't even work.

I am jealous that you have a turboford that will run 2000 miles.......and not over a period of years.

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.
