Thanks! It’s called Epic Orange. Same orange found on the 2006 Heritage.

This is a video my sneaky Apple IPhone made (without asking) of the day I took delivery of my 2019 Ford GT at The GT Guys Garage.

FUEL LEVEL LOW. Car came back today from the PPF and Windshield Protection. First drive today. Watched delivery gas rapidly count down as I went straight to the closest gas station. Whew. When I started up the car it said 20 miles remaining. When I arrived at the gas station it read "Warning: 9 miles left."

So, in the distance of 2.1 actual odometer miles, the fuel dropped 11 miles in estimated range. It was so rapid that I was wondering if I was going to be able to make it to the station, and hoping that the gauge was extremely pessimistic at the lower level.

ROCK COLLECTING.

Ah, the pitter pattering sounds of little pebbles flying into the screens. Ah, the joy of the first full tank of premium.

Meh, my DTE got to ZERO on my 1st time driving it home and to the gas station. If I recall there was still a gallon in the car. I HATE getting gas in this car (the crap show), so I have one station that I try to go to, that has been low key. So I find if I get to a half or less, I fill to be able to hit my quiet station.

The fuel gauges on these cars are hilariously bad: after a track day especially, they’ll tell you fifty miles to empty when the tank is three quarter full!

Great to know. I suspected so, but not the thing you really want to test out in the field on your very first day out.

Went out again today (second day), and I was thinking, the [projected] range on this isn't so great with a smallish tank. But again, will see how it plays out in the real world, and my engine is not broken in yet, so hope the calculations improve.

I have pushed it out to 300 miles per tank just highway driving. City not so good.

That's definitely good to know. I can appreciate a 230+ mile range no problem.
