That is still too funny that you rec'd a spyshot of us traveling home with the new car. It just reinforces the fact that enthusiast-owners in the copcar hobby need to be ever-mindful of how they behave on the roads, cuz you never know who's watching you!
That was our first fill-up at 137 miles into the trip. We averaged 23.0 mpg on the way home, which I thought was about right.

Yes, there was a thread on Mustang Forums saying that El Paso is now using some 5.0L's. The right side on mine says "TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT" on the rocker stripe. Originally, the car was a police demonstrator for Gorno Ford in Woodhaven, Michigan. Here is how the car looked before it was purchased by the City of Harper Woods with about 6K miles on the odometer:
I noticed last night as the dew collected on the car that the top edge of the rear window had lettering that said "got lights?". So the car was used by Gorno Ford as a demo to help sell the idea of using these S197's for police duty. I got to speak with the fleet salesman at Gorno today, and he filled me in a bit about selling this car to Harper Woods.
