There you go, your engine was older than mine, and I bet you did not have a 5 Star tuning done to it, and I also bet that your son (if you have one) is a master mechanic with Ford, who keeps my engine in its top performance condition (and now he is thinking about to turbo charge it)
I do have a son but he is just
"Shade Tree" mechanic certified. He has built a few Chevy 350's.
Other than my wife's Acura MDX, I had not driven a gas burner since 1999. Only driven Cummins diesel equipped pickups (owned 6 of them).
When I bought the 2000 Hurricane in 2013, at first I was frightened by the RPMs and the engine noise. Finally came to the realization that the V-10 was doing it's best and just let it scream! With the wind direction right and keeping the speed under 65 mph, on several trips to Florida, it would get 10-11 mpg. The V-10 did move that MH off the line much better than my DP.
