Page 354 in the owners manual shows that this is possible. BTW, page 353 contains an 80’s themed Easter egg.

This. When people mention that manual fuel calculations are more accurate they fail to take into consideration that the pump itself has a tolerance that it works within. Then some pumps are more sensitive to others in regards to the auto shutoff feature.

Not as much, but still true.

Trust me, it can’t. ?

True, but the biggest gain in MPG at higher altitudes occurs because the less dense air must be countered with less fuel in order to obtain the proper stoichiometric ratio.

Eco mode on the 1.5 will deactivate one cylinder under certain conditions.

The problem is that insurance varies from state to state. In some states it’s assumed that each driver was at least partially at fault for an accident, meaning you get slammed with higher insurance premiums unless you can prove you had nothing to do with the accident. That’s where these cameras...

I’ve been perfectly happy with the dash cam offered by Ford. It integrates well with the vehicle, is mostly hidden, and has very good video quality.

Absolutely. The reality is that there are way too many dishonest people out there. Your dash cam can help other people too. Someone was swerving around traffic at high speeds on the highway yesterday and almost hit another vehicle. Had he caused an accident my camera could have been used for...

Keep in mind that anything uploaded to any type of social media is generally lower quality than how it was originally recorded, so you are not seeing a true representation of what the camera is capable of. Facebook is notorious for degrading video quality. As for your other comments regarding...

Do you mean the roof rails? Those are integral and not meant to be removed. I was referring to anything you attach to those rails: roof boxes, kayak carriers, spare tire carrier, etc.

Exactly. Engineers go through a lot of trouble to fine tune the exterior of vehicles for better aerodynamic efficiency, and then we ruin it by attaching all sorts of stuff to the outside of our vehicles. Generally speaking, when you double your speed your drag is quadrupled. So a roof rack that...

You can reset it as often as you’d like, although most people reset it after each fill up as a way to track MPG trends. Generally speaking it’s useful for determining how economically you are driving. If you aren’t interested in such things there’s no reason to ever reset it. As far as “real...

On average a roof rack will drop MPG by as much as 10%. In your case, that’s almost 3 MPG. It’s recommended to remove any accessory from your roof if you are not actively using it.

I see. Well, I’ve looked at one recently and there were no ads, and they claim to not take money from any company in order to remain unbiased.

I thought Consumer Reports didn’t have ads for exactly this reason. Did they start selling ad space recently?

This is covered in the owners manual, page 231.

Not bad! Now try to keep that average for another 150 miles ??

I looked into a Premium Care plan on Ford’s website and came up with a price of $2,793 for a 5 year, 100k mile plan. Granger’s quote was less than half of that. This is an excellent deal!
