Road Trip

We took a trip from central Pa to Daytona, Fl 2 weeks ago in our 98 5.4 EB. About 15 1/2 hours each way. 2 adults, 4 kids. Truck was great, no issues. Average mileage was about 14mpg. Don't know if that's normal or not, but I'm not complaining. Truck has 106k miles on it.

13-14 is about what I average on a highway ride. I travel to my summer vacation home (310 miles one way) about 10 times over the course of the summer and with 4 people, a black lab and bags of clothing for the weekend, and if I take it easy, I can do 13-14. Probably about 90% of that is highway. My best ever was 17. Must have had a really strong tailwind that weekend.

My Expy has been flawless. I love this truck and can't say enough good things about her. A few big repairs along the way, but other than routine maintenance, she's been awesome!
