Taken From an EB facebook group an - "MPG challenge"

has to be a minimum of 5 miles covered

In gear (no coasting)

Picture proof please,

If you live near a place called 5 mile hill you cant use It :lol:

Obviously the Eco boost owners have a slight advantage over the GT owners, But you never know ?

please state if you Mustang is a GT or EB or even gt350 GT500 etc

Remember its just a bit of fun :headbang:

There will be a prize for the winners of the best EB and best GT

(I have no idea what, will try to blag something of guy at nemesis or the guys at Steeda :thumbsup:)

There are some long stretches of road works on the M1 & M3 that are over 10 miles long with 50mph speed cameras... putting the cruise on I can get well over 40mpg but nowhere near 50!

the auto on the ecoboost does use a lot more juiice especially when the boost kicks in! My lifetime average over 12K miles is around 28mpg.

There was an MPG challenge last year (Google it) - the Mustang GT won that with a 58% increase in quoted versus actual outcome (something like 30mpg over the course).

If you are starting from standstill, it will be very hard to get a good result.

My best was filling up just off the M25 and then a bout 20 miles at 60mph.

Got it up to 37mpg by about the 15 mile mark.

That's in a GT.
