After the run this weekend we went to Charlottetown Sunday night for some fine Gahan House made local brew and their Brown Bag Fish and Chips. On the way back we noticed the trip meter on the car for this summer rolled 10,000 KM's as we passed through Baie Verte NB. In a year like this every tick of the odometer has been a welcomed sight. Pic at the 10,000 mark.

Just checked my run from the weekend. Reset Friday AM. Might only be 4 cylinder turbo but I cannot argue the fuel economy. Also when I was deciding what to buy in March 2017 the insurance for the 8 cyl was about 30 percent more per year over the 4. Made the choice easier. 7.6 over the whole weekend.

Nice mpg. Must be driving way nicer than i was driving my focus st. Although, it had a lot of work done ? ?. Normal hwy was about 8.8 to 9.2.
Traded on the mustang on a trip to montreal, 8.4 on the way up and 8.6 on the way down with the mustang, and double the cylinder count ?

Fully agree. The 2.3T does what we wanted it to do and suits both of us as drivers. Not knocking the 11.1 as I tracked my 2013 F150 crew with the 5.0 for the first 100,000 Kms and marked every fill up in a log. In the end I spent $17,300 just in fuel for that time. I think the truck is averaging 12.5 overall. Back then the ecoboost was just starting to get traction. It has worked well for me and hauled any load it was given. Speaking of how we want to use the car. Still never had anyone in the back seats yet. Just a few jackets, road maps and empty coffee cups.

I don't pay attention to fuel milage in my Mustang.
But one of the dyno runs, someone asked, so I looked.
7.9 so based on logic above, you need a GT350
7.9 @ 90mph? well that's good now!

Exactly. Prius are very economic, and I’m probably never going to buy one

Started off with 136,436 when the Season started for a Total of 3,564 miles or 5,702 kilometers, definitely a good Mustang Summer even if there were no Car Shows.
Here’s

Quiet year for driving - just wound up the 10,000 k for the year on a Peggy's cove loop today. Not parked yet for the season but the time is getting closer .

Did a saint John river cruise this past weekend and now I'm up to 5205 kms for the year.. maybe one or two more rides. My new storage is not ready till mid November.. hopefully no snow or salt till then , if so i guess it will get carried over
