Dude. 140 miles in 6 days? What a garage queen! Lol. I'm at 200 and picked up Friday. And I haven't driven as much as I'd like!

Poking fun is all man.
Hahaha! I was out of town this weekend. The miles will be ramping up from here. Hope you are having fun. :ford:

Some final low light shots...I hope the weather holds so I can get a more in brighter light tomorrow. I also hope to report on the fuel economy of my first tank of 93 octane gas, which I put in it as the first fill-up after getting the car from the dealership.

That was my plan for this weekend if the weather cooperated! Do you have a delivery thread on the forums somewhere? I'd like to see your car!
Pick me up on your way down!!!

Right after you order or before? :lol: Yes, if I make it out, I'll give you a call!
I'm doing my research right now. It may take me a few years!

That is one classy looking car -- the world needs more classy Mustangs on the road! I understand how it would be difficult to visualize changes -- it doesn't need any!

Thanks and agree :) I would take Guard, race red, or competition orange as consolation colors though.

FIRST TANK OF GAS - FUEL MILEAGE

By the "fill up and divide by distance" method, I calculate 15.8 MPG. This is comparable (although a bit lower) than what I would get in daily driving my 2010 GT with a 4.6L V8 (315 hp) and the 5-speed Tremec T3650 transmission with rear 3.55 gear.

My driving mix was 65% city, 35% highway over 237 miles before filling up. This is a pretty typical of my normal habits.

I expect to get better mileage as I continue to get more familiar with the shift points, travel more highway distance, and the engine breaks in.

I filled with 93 octane Shell gas.
