Actually the gas usage was fairly low, only used about 70 gallons for the trip. Low price was $2.99 (TX) high price was $3.57 (CA). Even with the car fully packed (passenger seat, back seat, trunk) AND towing a loaded trailer of probably right at 2,000 pounds, I was averaging 24.8MPG.
A lot of people on this board are always bragging about their euro-luxury cars and how great they are. I'll tell you, my little cheap 2004 V6 Mustang handled this trip flawlessly, with ZERO problems even being overloaded, handled smooth as silk, took on all of the mountain roads with plenty of passing power to spare, and the factory seats were nice and comfy even for 15+ hour driving stretches. Not too shabby for a car I bought used (1-yr old former rental car from Phoenix) for $16K.
YIPPEEEE!!! for FORD, and quality built, reasonably priced vehicles!!!
