V8 Mustang...guess the mpg!
Discussion
Just returned from a 3 week holiday to the USA and was lucky enough to pick up a 2019 600 mile Mustang GT 5.0 convertible from Avis. Majority seem to be 2.3 ecoboost.
Our road trip kicked off in San Francisco and finished in Seattle 7 states and 3800 miles later...mostly across the Rockies...altitude almost always 6000+ feet.
We encountered all sorts of weather including snow and cruised at 65 -80 mph depending on state. Lots of stop start work around parks in Utah and yellowstone.
Have to say car was great all rounder...a real GT and at least 1/2 the distance was with top down. Sound was epic through the 4 exhausts...loved it.
Anyway set the trip computer at the beginning so can anyone guess what average mpg was?
Will post a pic. of trip computer at end of the week with final figure.

Some very interesting guesses. So here we go:
27.7 US mpg which equates to 33.2 UK mpg!
Quite shocked at how economical it was and whilst we did stick pretty close to speed limits (as most people seem to do in US) at no time was it driven with economy in mind.
Overall we were both really impressed with it and would consider buying.
Big dog 3 you were the closest....well done!
