Using Amtrak Auto Train from VA to FL with the Mustang

[scazea]

Well the good thing about this Mustang is that it will force you to stop since the mileage is not that great

Specially GT! Maybe 300 miles autonomy on highway?

I never reached 300 miles, but yeah, with no traffic and constant speed maybe yes haha

I just looked on google maps, it looks like a doddle. One overnighter and, from what I've seen of US roads, it'll be safer and more relaxing than the same distance here.

I wouldn't want to go any further without stretching my legs but on a 4 hour highway trip I was seeing 26mpg which would put it close to 400 miles. Avg about 20 driving around town. Much better than my jeep which is like 15 town, 17 highway. The mustang is a little more aerodynamic than a brick on 35s.

With planning, a long drive is no problem. I use an app to plan fuel stops. There are some states that are much higher priced than average. I like fueling at Sam's Club when convenient. Rest breaks are usually Love's, QT and Buc-ees. Your best chance at decent facilities. I also recommend forgoing any adventures in dining. I love checking out new places, but there were occasions that it was regrettable. And don't fail to plan your place to sleep. Nothing worse than getting tired on a trip and finding out that all the rooms for miles are full for an event. And read the reviews. When my 2025 comes in, I have six weeks to get it prepped to my needs before a 3200 mile trek to VA, that will include a run at the Tail of the Dragon and the Air Force Museum in Dayton among other things.

There's a nice one at Dulles airport too.
