Default What's the Longest Trip You've Taken in Your S197 Mustang

Alright, . . . We've all seen the threads on the number of miles (high or low) on your Mustang.

What about 'Who has taken the Longest One Way Trip in their Mustang?'

Excluding the day I picked her up and drove her aimlessly around town. My longest one way trip has been around 30 miles from home.

Tampa, FL to and from Charlotte, NC. Car ran like a top, great fuel mileage, comfortable and cruised well about 75. I love this car and with a year ownership December 1 it has 12,436 miles on it.
I am wondering what a GT Premium convertible in 2008 will be like. Just might sell this baby. A couple of people have asked if I would sell it and as I am a "Senior", it has been well taken care of.

Amen brother Mick.

My longest one trip was a little over 90 miles, and at least once or twice when I was leaving 76 miles from work, I took her to work. Generally, 20 miles one way is my distance.

Chicago to MA to get the '05 home - 1023 miles door to door in 17 hours for an average of 60.18MPH for the whole trip - that includes stops for gas, food (intake and exhaust) and dew.

Very fun drive...

I have no idea what mileage I got, I just filled it up when I hit 1/4 tank...

Nashville to Chicago, about 550 miles each way. Averaged about 75 for the entire trip until I hit the south side of Chicago - then was lucky to get above second gear for awhile. No problems, mileage in the high 20s over the full trip.

Route 66 from Chicago to LA and back. About 6000 miles round trip. There were some sidetrips for things like the Grand Canyon,Meramec caves, Meteor crater... A lot of people claim it is a cruise for Corvettes, but it was perfect in a Mustang. I can't wait to do it again.
