Have To Say I'm Proud Of My Coupe

[Notch93]

Well, yesterday made the drive back up to NC. The coupe made it without any problems.:thumbsup1: We were traveling in a convoy, had some friends taking a boat back to the SC coast.

Here is the shocker to me, I set the cruise on at 65 mph and got 25 MPG in the coupe.:patriot: Not bad gas mileage for a V8.:thumbsup1: Who ever said a mustang can't get good gas mileage.:lol1::lol1:

[MustangCRZY302]

Sweet! I used to get 25 in my car too! 2.73 gear helps! haha

Mine has 3.27's from the factory.:yes1:

[BDASPNY]

my car has never seen that good of mileage. esp after the 331 was put in. but i have drove it as far as tenn for 600 miles to and 600 back. best i got was 22. and of course mustang week. and for obvious reasons i go the speed limit **** laws!!

[nastynotchback1]

I hate it when foxbody owners say well i took an x mile long trip and the car didn't break down.come on they are very reliable cars.

[bonesgt]

So you came though SC and didn't stop to see any of us??!!!!:bat:

[cobra_4]

I used to get 20 plus all the time out of my 89 coupe. Now the 91 with the 347 and 4:56 gears passes about three gas stations before it needs to stop.

3.27's? huh? 93's have 3.08's.... but anyways, a couple months back, my brothers cobra was still at the shop gettin worked on and he didnt have a way to get back up there, well i didnt wanna, but i took him. i have no cruise in my car (use to but it broke) we drove from bushriver road were i filled up at. all the way to Camp Lejune NC. Rite out side jacksonville. And i still had 1/4 tank when i got up there. Thats a 4hr trip.... it was something like 26.7 mpg. so yea needless to say i was pretty proud of the ol girl:thumbsup1:

Yes they are very reliable cars Trai.:yes1::thumbsup1: I have put many, many thousands of miles on my foxes driving back from FL-NC & back and many other road trips, never had one major problem.:nonono1:

Well, if you were on my route, I might have stopped.:p But I came up 95 to 26, then 77 to 485.:thumbsup1:

Well you see from now on that route will have to be 26 into Spartanburg to 85, or else.......:bat:

[Notch93]

3.27's? huh? 93's have 3.08's....

And some 93's had 2.73's also, so whats your point?

Congrats on the good gas mileage.:thumbsup1:

[Wayne's 88 GT]

Yeah, you can get good MPG's from these ole foxbodies.......I'm averaging 22 mpg city in my 88. :thumbsup1:

[Notch93]

:lol1::lol1::lol1:

At that stage of the trip, you love when you come up on I-77, only 90 more miles then.:patriot:

Why, did you want me to swing by and pick up a couple of the guys, and mount the new rear wing we got for your GT?:taunt:

[93fakesnake]

LOL :thumbsup1::thumbsup1:

[Ozz]

Nice gas mileage! Makes me want a daily driver coupe even more - haha!

I can relate to your excitement though, seems there's always something stupid that can and does go wrong when you start modifying your car a bunch. I drive it so little for various reasons, and I seem to break down half the time because of it :lol1:

whoa, easy there killer. i didnt know foxbody cars come with 3.27's stock. thats the first ive heard about that.

Trust me, I'm being easy.:taunt: Didn't we go over this on the old board? On the door sticker there could be three different codes for the axle.

M 2.73
Z 3.08
E 3.27

[Blacksheep]

[Slonotch]

[Notch93]

Check out this info on the door stickers from the SSP site. Remember 3.27's were only offered in AOD cars.

I remember back in 1988, my friend had a AOD and I had 5 speed, mine had 2.73's his had 3.27's. Always wish Ford would have given the 3.27's as an option on the 5 speeds.:yes1:

[Notch93]

Thanks Eric.:thumbsup1:

[Notch93]

:thumbsup1:

Yes that would have been a sweet option. Don't know why the didn't offer it though.:thumbsdown1:

[fast5.0]

i dont think my car has ever seen 20 mpg :thumbsdown1:

[Stable]

3.27's were a option in auto cars....3.27 and 3.55 will get better fuel milage than a 2.73 in the hills....cars is in its power ban and does not lug

That info about the 3.27's was already posted Mark.:thumbsup1: To bad I didn't see any real hills on the drive up.:thumbsdown1: Mainly just flat land,:yes1: unless you call the little bumps on 26 & 77 hills.:lol1::lol1::lol1::lol1::lol1:

Yes you are a Douche bag!

Hey Bones.....Don't feel bad. He drive through SC and you didn't see him. He was home here in Florida for a few months and he didn't make any time for me either! That's cool. I see where this friendship is going:taunt::taunt: That's OK. I guess I'll just have to talk to him via cell phone from the Hurricanes games!


When are you coming back this time? Maybe I'll get my engine?:angry:

I have some very good comebacks for the douche comment. But I'll let you slide this time since your mom is in the hospital.:yes1:

I'm not driving hours out of my way to Greenville, it's not on the way to my house in NC. Plus after 10+ hours in the stang, your ready to get out of it.:yes1: I'll see Bones plenty.:thumbsup1:

Hey at least the Canes won today.:happydance:
