There has been a lot of discussion about MPG and "real world" driving. In checking the owners manual, it states in order to maximize your mpg you must drive in an Eco friendly manner - no air conditioning, no heater, no lights, no radio and the windows rolled up. Everyone should understand the difference between driving for eco -mpg and real world-mpg. I drive real world, all my gauges are maxed out on the blue, 100% braking and I'm usually on 39 - 40 mpg. All my driving is stop & go town and short trips, no highway, no freeway, no distances over 6 miles one way. The mpg is what it is. My concern right now is the clock won't stay set. Random time every time I start the car and the dealer just says, "yes Ford is aware of the problem and is trying to find a fix". Is this the sum-total of the electrical problems or just the tip of the iceberg? I'm concerned that Ford has a hybrid with a problem in any electrical system, that they've known about for a period of time and they are unable or unwilling to fix it.
