RE: y '05 owners attending Mustangs in the Park?
After a trip from Los Angeles up to the Kern River and back ( East of Bakersfield) my MPG went from 14.6 to 15.6. It probably could have been much higher but there was not much traffic and i was usually going about 80. Except, of course on the windy road alongside the river!
What seems wierd is that my Average Speed still remains the same, about 27 MPH. I would have thought a trip of almost 400 miles would have raised that. Still have less than 2000 miles on my 2 month old '05.
I haven't yet reset those 2 readouts.

This Sunday, June 26, there is a Mustang and Ford Car Show at Woodley Park in Van Nuys, CA.
There are a ton of classes for judging, including 1994 and up Personalized Coupe and Vert Classes and a 1994 and up Factory Stock Class.
There should be a ton of Shelbys, SVOs and Cobras, as well as Cougars, Torinos, T-birds, etc.
I'll be there with the new GT and hopefully if anyone else is in the area they can stop by.

Hi Orion_240,
I'm expecting to get there in the morning and take some images of all the good stuff. Details for drawings I want to do and to look for ideas and feedback on mods for my '05 GT. When are you going to get there? Maybe we can get a few of the locals here and meet up and walk around together and kill a pizza or two. If interested please email me and give me your phone# and I'll send you mine so we can coordinate on Sunday.
Cheers/Chip

Just look for me and my car in the Pony Corral. I hope to get there before the 9:30 cut off time.

That makes me wonder. I only have ~400 miles on mine right now, but I also have an average of 27MPH, and it's been that way since I got it. I bought the car from the dealer with >40 miles on it, and I had to drive it 130+ miles to get it home... most of which were doing ~70. Now I've been pretty nice to her at times, but I can honestly say the allure of go-real-fast-pedal has sucked me in more often than not. Yet somehow I'm still stuck on 27MPH as an average. Is this happening with anyone else?
