  1. i have seen form .5 to 1.0 gal more pumped than used from the car. in my BMW I can set the fuel usage and calibrate the MPG gauge in set increments, as cars will vary. I wonder if there is software to access the OBC and make corrections (this would require several fillups at the same pump) and each time a change would need to be make to correct the issue for the car. this would however be each car would have to be done so I would guess the OBC uses Air temp, engine speed, Maf input, injector cycle (the way my BMW does it) plus engine load. at this rate the car will show on avg about 1 to 2 MPG increase due to the less fuel used and I wonder if it was done that way for a reason. .5 to 1 gal is a fair amount of fuel to not be accounted for for me today I had 350miles on the tank (cold weather and lots of heat being used the last week ) I pumped 12.1 so that avg rounding up to 29MPG car displays that I used 11.3 that avg to 31 so is that how ford got the magic 41MPG for energy? I think yes
  2. I have to say I have driven quite a few cars over the last 20 years and this one is by the far the widest turn radius. I would have expected..... but didn't when I went o make my first u turn that a car this short would have made a really easy u turn, yet took over two lanes to complete the U turn and I still had to back up and then go again and get out of traffics way i'm not trying to compare cars but seems really strange that full lock doesn't turn faster. any one else have this issue? or this like this for a reason?
