Ecoboost Performance Package

[Sleepcakez]

I ordered with the performance package just so I could have a little bit sportier of a ride. I don't necessarily need it, but I do kind of like the wheels and everything else included other than the reduction in gas mileage. In another thread someone said they expect 2-3 less MPG. Does the gearing really make that big of a difference? Trying to decide if I should just drop the PP altogether.

Just enjoy it. If you want to worry about MPG you're buying the wrong car in the first place

Heard that. Between that and the prospect of the stiffer ride I just was waffling.

It won't be terribly stiff. The benefits far outweigh the costs IMO. I'd expect about a 2mpg hit in the combined figure going from 3.15s to 3.55s, which if you drive 12,000 miles a year is only about an additional 38 gals (under $150 a year).

I actually asked my dealer last weekend if I could get it still and he called who ever he had to call at FORD to check it for me. He phoned me back and said it was to late because my order is already in the line up.
I should have known earlier that he gave me my EcoBoost $2,500 under invoice when I was building my order. With the PP I would have now a fully loaded EBP. :doh:

Ask Tricia here from Ford Service or tweet to @Fordservice. It's possible they could help you get it added.

Well a few things affect your MPG. The gears going from 3.15 to 3.55 will probably give you a hit of 2 mpg like stilesg57 said.

Also, you will have 19" tires vs 18" and that will affect MPG a tad also. Not a lot but a tad. You will also have some added weight from the extra stuff.

Really?

The PP is a no brainer for a mustang/sports car, get it if you can.

Yes I know! I messed it up with all the numbers and running around to find a dealer who did order one for me. Last week I had a chat with the sales guy again and he mentioned that I didn't order the PP.:shocked: So he asked his boss and the boss said the order is out and he can't change the order anymore. :frusty:

Sounds better when put like that, and I drive 7-9k a year. Hell I spend over 150$ a year on headphones.
