600 miles from one tank of gas??
Yep - that's my goal this week.
I'm taking my eco-modded 2.3 and going on a road trip.
Cajon Summit, CA to Provo, UT on one tank of regular unleaded.
The car?
My 1992 Mustang LX 2.3/A4LD ragtop
The mods?
Junkyard Underdrive Pulleys
(crank, water pump, and alternator pulleys)
3" Aluminum mandrel bent intake tube
Accel drop in filter with gutted airbox
NGK fine wire platinum plugs
144cc Denso fuel injectors
pre cat removed and oem 5.0 muffler installed
Gutted trunk
S-10 front air dam
45 psi in stock 195-75-14 tires
The driving style?
freeway cruise at 55mph
neutral coastdown on hills and signals
engine shutoff at red traffic lights
I have seen 40-41mpg on similar controlled driving adventures locally so if all goes well, I'll get 600 miles worth of travel on a single fillup.
I'm leaving thursday early a.m. and hope to be in Provo later that day.
Wish me luck!
