I don't require (or read for that matter) any Ford forums. I have my BIL who knows and I go by what he tells me. Like he told me to run away from the twin clutch tranny in the Focus, which I did. Like I said, he knows as he was in the design phase. Even my wife's Burb gets an oil change and filter every 5K miles. Oil is still a cheap date today compared to internal issues.
I think we all know who is responsible for that. Come November just use common sense when voting and I'll leave it at that except to say we have one philosophy that wants to eliminate fossil fuels entirely and the other who will promote energy independence and I know which way I'll be voting come November.
We take full advantage of the Kroger Super Market gasoline station and their per gallon discount on fuel which is caculated on groceries purchased and it's usually between 75 and $1.10 per gallon off the displayed pump price and Kroger has increased the fill up limit to $125.00 so that covers her 30 gallon tank and certainly covers my 11 gallon tank as well. I will fill my lawnmower cans at the same time however, but on the lawnmower gas deal, I always add Marine Stabil blue with every can full. It's not cheap but it eliminates the phase separation that is inherent with 'corn squeezed' e-gas. Not the red stinky stuff, but the blue (no smell) stuff. Been using it for years btw.
That is true but the highways to and from are still posted at 55 so cruise control is still a viable option. I use mine every chance I get, e-way or secondary roads, no matter.Just thinking here...getting 26 mpg going from UP to MN seems really good, considering there is no good freeway up there.
snake oil?
