 Just finished a 4,416.6 mile trip from IA to CA and my overall milage was 26.3 at 75MPH+.  Took I-35 & I-80 out there then 101 to north CA and then i-80 home.  Drove flatland and the high passes in the Mountins.  I could not ask for a better car for the trip.  Ford please do kill this car or it sister ships off.  They are the best road trip cars around.  Mine is a LX with the 224 hp single exhust and I never wanted for power in the hills.
