cruising at 43 mph for 18 hours.


the mpg is skewed and unrealistic.
just because i can run a mile before getting tired has nothing to do with me walking x5 the distance before quitting.

Maybe...

I understand it's a publicity stunt, but it does do one of two things. Either it proves the new Mustang is indeed the awesome vehicle it's being touted as being, or, it proves that paying out the ass for a boring hybrid ain't all it's cracked up to be.

its 48 mpg if you go for ~776 miles at 43 mph........obvisouly NO ONE will do that on the highway. id rather get there sooner and get 25-30 mpg and go 65-70 mph....
