Miscelaneous

The only time we drive the F-250 is to pick up large items and most of these trips are around town. Otherwise I drive our 1999 Ford Mustang. Thus we’re getting around 13.5 MPG around town.

I have taken a couple of long non-towing trips to go backpacking with friends. These trips totaled over 2,000 miles of freeway driving with an average around 16 MPG.
