Average gas mileage to and from for Mustang week?

[SteveG@Lethal]

Just seeing what people were getting that drove to Mustang Week.

Mine with a 680 each way (florida) and the 200ish from myrtle to the track and averaging about 80mph, I was getting 22mph (remember I'm fully built with turbo)

I got 26+mpg on the way down from WV, and just over 22mpg on the way home. I'm the guy that Chris tuned at the track with the Ingot 2011 GT.

98 Cobra convertible. Stock engine, gears, exhaust. Almost 24 MPG from and back to southern Maryland

I only got 15 mpg on the way down but the first 1/4 of the tank was around town prior to leaving. I haven't filled up yet from the trip back but I know it was better. The old pushrods just don't get what the modulars usually do (I averaged about 22-23 with my Terminator the last couple of years going down to MW).

I got 16mpg for the 700 mile trip. I think i got close to 18 on the way back.

12.5 on the way down from detroit michigan 2011 Ecoboost F150
11.5 on the way home.

That's pretty much exactly what we got in my buddie's 2011 Ecoboost F150 (also 4-door) towing his 04 Cobra on an open trailer... pretty much exactly like you LOL. We were a couple tenths of a mpg lower than you though :beer:

Does your truck have 3.73's or 3.55's?

 

[saleencobra]

3:73's lol that's funny. that is the exact setup :rockon:

 

[99BlownVert]

dang i figured the ecoboost trucks would do alittle better than that on the interstate towing, i guess you just can't avoid weight haha

 

[Teej281]

I got 25mpg in my IRS-equipped 02 GT Convertible with bolt-on's and a tune(3.55's in the rear). Also, that was with the A/C on most of the way as well.

haha yep my buddy's has 3.73's also :beer:

yeah the weight kills it. We guesstimate we were towing about 5,000-5,200 pounds total behind us. The drive home from MB to WV really drank the gas because you are constantly going up in elevation till we get home. It's especially steep around Mt Airy NC/Fancy Gap VA and when we hit the WV state line. The truck averages about 19-20 mpg unloaded.

So far those Ecoboost F-150's have been poor MPG providers. Everyone I know with one is complaining about the fuel but loves the power.

unloaded, both of my buddies' EcoBoost trucks put down 19-20 average mpg. I think that's dang good. That's not just highway mpg, but overall average. Pulling a load, it does like the gas. I guess it gets in the boost a bit. But I don't know that a 5.0 F150 would have returned any better than 12 mpg with a 5,000 pound load behind it?

BTW... ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL coupe!!!!

 

[saleencobra]

I havent seen that kinda mileage unloaded. I avg 15 around town. it really sucks. idk why. i've got aout 13k on the truck too. :shrug:

 

[SM94Cobra]

Believe it or not I got about 13mpg on the way there and back.

 

[Teal Terminator]

Good look'n rides you got there Scott! :coolman:

 

[J666Z]

WOW! That's damn good for a car that puts down power.

I got 26 mpg average (which had a few 125 pulls and some messing around), but one tank I pulled off 30 mpg! I have to attribute it to the 2.73's I put in a week prior to the trip though hahahaha

 

[03' White Snake]

I averaged 21 on the highway for a few tanks.
