“A Few to Preserve the Best”
PRESERVATION - RESTORATION - ENJOYMENT - DEDICATION - EDUCATION
From the President
January 30, 2015
Hi Ho Mustangers,
It’s a slow time of the year for car outings, but a busy time for the club. We were given a real treat at
Ewald’s Venus Ford to look at the latest and greatest Mustangs and F-150's in the showroom along with a
great Q & A with Eric Ewald. A lot of the talk was about what FORD was doing with the all new 2015
Mustang, the FORD GT, and SVT. After the short club meeting, we were treated to an open look at all the
cars (6 brand new showroom models in the service bay). After we had a look at the cars, we were treated to
snacks provided by Ewald’s Venus Ford. It was the best time I have had at an outing, and we should all keep
in mind that EWALD’S VENUS FORD is the place to buy your next car or truck.
We have a lot on our plate for the next 60 days with the “Model A Swap Meet” on February 22nd at the
Washington County Fair Grounds. We will have a table there, and I hope that all WEM members who are
looking for a buy, stop by, and say “Hi” at the WEM table. This is a great time to see old friends and club
members in what is a cold car club season.
The annual February Pizza Party is set for February 8th. RSVP is a must! …and by MONDAY
FEBRUARY 2nd. Call Tom or Sue at 414-764-6726 ASAP. RSVP is a MUST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank You!!!
The club dinner and WEM MEMBER OF THE YEAR will take place at “THE POLOSKI INN”. If you
know someone within the club that you think should be considered, PLEASE contact any member of the
board no later than March 1st. If you worked the car show last year you have a free dinner at the club dinner,
but you still need to RSVP (A MUST). We need RSVP for counts and not to surprise our vendors. That is all
for now, but there’ll be more next month.
Yours in Stangdom,
Tom

The short business meeting was called to order by president Tom Miller at 6:30.
Sharon Doria gave a brief treasurer's report.
The April 18th preliminary show planning meeting at Ewald’s Venus Ford is all set to finalize facility
details about our May 17th car show. Extra help is still needed at the show, so please volunteer.
Club apparel: Please see Dick Doria to lock in 2014 prices.
Pizza Party: The date was changed to February 8th with a February 2nd RSVP deadline. (See flyer)
WEM Annual Club Dinner: RSVP's are needed for this club party. Many of us agreed about the good
drinks at reasonable prices, and the good food served at this enjoyable evening.
Tom Miller asked for nominations for Mustanger of the Year (to be awarded at the March club dinner).
Model A swap meet and the World of Wheels are coming up. (Info is in the Calendar)
Fox and Hounds May 3rd Ice Breaker Brunch Run: The date is set, but we have not been able to get firm
pricing yet. Details should be in our next newsletter.
Please let Scott know if anyone has jointed MCA (they probably have enough members...but just
checking).
Eric Ewald had a great presentation as well as showing great hospitality to our members as we toured the
facility. Super good sandwiches that had a variety of meats on hard rolls, chips, and soda were served
courtesy of the dealership.

June 13-17, 2015
The itinerary is in the early planning stages but will include many of the things we did in 2010 (The Henry
Ford & Greenfield Village, Roush Performance Products, the Roush Collection, a group dinner) and a few
new things!
So, if you are planning to join us, please let me know! I realize this is fairly far in advance – at this point I
am only trying to get a better idea of how many rooms we may need in our group block. Your RSVP will not
be set in stone. Please email Dawn at [email protected], or call 414-412-9147. If you have
questions I’ll do my best to answer them.
Hotel: Best Western Greenfield Inn – Allen Park (same as 2010). The group block/rate to be announced.
More details coming soon
An EcoBoost FYI – By John Falkner
The owners manual specifies 87 octane fuel, and if you’re driving around town with mild acceleration
you’re probably happy, but if you’re into more spirited driving at higher speeds, you’re probably not too
impressed. The advertised 310 HP has an asterisk stating Premium Fuel was used, so what’s the story?
The new 2.3 liter EcoBoost Mustang engine has a 9.5:1 compression ratio, so 87 octane fuel is fine until
the turbo kicks in. Modern engines have sensors and computer controls to prevent pre-ignition
(knock/ping), so they seem to run fine when turbocharged by de-tuning the air, fuel, cam timing, spark
advance, etc., but any supercharged/turbocharged engine needs higher octane fuel to reach full potential as
boost pressures increase. A recent Ford tech bulletin states this engine produces about 260 HP on 87
octane regular, and 310 HP on 93 octane premium, and I was told this is similar with all EcoBoost
engines. So if you slowly drive around town, 87 octane regular is okay, but if you want to go faster with
peak performance, use premium fuel for better power AND fuel economy …and yes, that extra 50 HP is
VERY noticeable! I was happy with my new ‘15 EcoBoost Mustang, but now I love it.
