Jus-A-CMax Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) Yeah, you're really hurtin' in that department, aren't you, Jus? What did you say the other day about 71mpg on the way home from work? :lol2: :lol2: :lol2: :lol2: J/K.....you're still the rock star for MPGs! You give us all something to aspire to. :dance: no...no, it was not that high...64.1 dear :wub2: and a 4th 800+ tank. I do get between 86.1 and 81 MPG going to work though, peak hour driving :drool: Snowstorm & SDM regularly get post 60+ MPG tanks so its definitely possible and everyone can look forward to that...jus gotta understand the car. Sorry...lets get back to the TOPIC. Edited June 13, 2014 by Jus-A-CMax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fbov Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 ...Lack of engine gauges--why not selectable oil pressure/water temp/oil temp/tach etc. gauges on right side of speedo ...It's not obvious, but those left and right dash displays are driven by two independent computer systems- the right display shows leaves, or climate, entertainment, nav or phone data, like the big center screen, because it's part of the user interface computer.- the left display shows engine and drivetrain daa because it's part of the car's drivetrain control computer. Once I got past the desire for lots of gauges (look into OBDII scanners, Scangauge, etc.) I realized the displays are complementary; I've started looking for radio and phone info on the dash instead of the center display. Have fun,Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveofDurham Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 On the plus side - Smooth comfortable ride On the down side - Taking away the lifetime statistics. I still have mine, but seriously why did Ford take these away? As if we won't calculate out own lifetime mpg and shouldn't know other lifetime statistics.

shinytop Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Forgot one other item that surprised me and feels like a backward step. The Sync screen is pressure sensitive rather than touch (haptic?) sensitive. Might be so that glove wearers can use it but seems quite 2003. Every Touch sensitive device I have owned since 2004 is touch which makes it much more precise and much more sensitive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry...lets get back to the TOPIC.Brother Jus. I seem to be in a slump was at 43.7AvMPG now barely hanging on to 41.0 I seem to be in a spiral down-slope since things warmed up and I'm using the A/C most of the time. But I think my driving styles are the same as they were last year when it was warm and I was seeing an occasional 47 to 53. My fuelly numbers are really dropping as as result Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worry about the low front bumper or the wheels hitting the curb, as the tire does not give it that much protection to the wheels. I tend to park a little away from the curb so that I do not risk damaging the beautiful wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to figure it out when I used to smoke in the car. Thankfully I quit and don't have to go through that routine anymore :) You also have to keep an eye on where the temp setting is relative to the outside temp. It will heat the air to bring the temp up, which is what annoys me. I want it to ignore the temp setting (so I don't have to dial it back and forth) and just vent... Maybe the whole setup for vent should just be a single voice command. ScubaDadMiami 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owner: The "vent" command isn't working Dealer: We'll look into it. Dealer: Well, we checked out the ventilation and it seems to work fine Owner: It does?
