Recent trip, report on gas milage
So far I've averaged 12.5 unloaded for 4000 miles.
Towed my mustang to the track last weekend. Trailer and car = 5000, plus carog and passengers is about 1000 more.
-- 10.0x MPG towing it there (240 miles) in 90 deg heat with a/c, stop and go traffic on the 215 through LA for 5 hours, do the math and I averaged 48 MPH. Not bad I thought for the heat and stop and go traffic.
Then it got better...... yes better
Returned home Sunday evening
-- 11.0x MPG towing it home (240 miles) in 75 deg temps without running the a/c and traffic flowing all the way home at 75 MPH.
All caluclations using the miles divided by the gallons since I don't have the built in calculator (instrument package).
