We made it home! (Eagle River, Ak) 10 days & 6k miles,(with a few detours. I'm still compiling all the data, best mileage=26.7 mpg, etc...(worst, 17.2). I love this car! So far the ONLY change I'd make is.......a telescoping steering wheel & reverse the positions of the cup holders & shifter. What a blast,I like driving this car so much I'm actually thinking of finding some studs and driving her year round! Have I got the record for longest trip so far ?

I'm thinking you do have the record.Man you needed a couple of oil changes on that trip!:lol: The cup holders are really crap bins I believe.:lol:

Daytona Dave you are the man! I'm guessing no one at this point can top that! Nice highway mileage!!

Only one oil change, Twin Falls, Id. @ 3k, she's due another now. I really like the syn blend motorcraft, was thinking of going full syn but now I don't think so. One more stat, top speed=130mph, had room & pwr to go higher but she felt a little squirrely, maybe when I get a little more comfortable I'll see where she tops out at. Has anyone topped their 08 Bullitt yet?

Awesome road trip! I'd love to do that in the Bullitt!

daytonadave,

i've seen the needle at 140mph before i ran out of road. she had some more to give. quite a sensitive gal at that speed i might add. i really think that she could hit the 150 mark. 130 is smooth sailing though, huh?

Does the Bullitt sound louder?

 

[daytonadave]

I do think she has a little deeper rumble since we made it home. Got a few fuel stats: avg mpg=22.76, avg price per gal=$4.63 (canada avg=$5.76)-(US avg=$4.23) always highest octane available. I'm going to try regular now & see how that works out. This car is a GREAT road trip car! I've made this trip 3 times now, the other times I was all stiff & wore, not this time. I went straight to work fri (made it here thurs noon). One more thing, I DON'T recommend using a "bra" on the front end, it look good and I'm sure protected me on the gravel parts, but when I pulled it off......maybe a little rubbing compound will take care of things.
