It was hit by a drunk driver and that's all she wrote. Everyone is ok, glad for the air bags :)

Cmax officially totaled by insurance company yesterday. Goodbye CMax, hello 2014 Focust ST.

Sorry for the delay...

In my case, a shorter burn would be required to climb 3% inclines on my way home from work. Even a little more tq would go a long way. Only a side by side hill comparison with a double blind hyper-miler vs standard driver would really show the difference.

By top edge, do to mean the front edge of the hatch? I set them up based on the front edge of the "lip". I must have misinterpreted the advice from the other thread. I will re-align them before I leave today. Thanks for the tip.

Yes, magnetic :) Thanks for the compliment on appearance. I am on the "black-out" theme and enjoy the contrast.

First HWY test trip will be tomorrow. I will try to get a feeling from that round trip (30+ miles). I usually was getting 48.X consistently when it was warm. Plummeted to around 42.X in the colder weather. If nothing else, I like the visual enhancement :) EDIT: I won't start officially tracking miles for the test program until next tank of gas, so everything from now until then is speculative, with weather being an unknown variable that will play a big factor.

I only jumped on because I have the worst time trying to get good HWY mpg. Yes, it is a gamble, but I made a couple extra bucks this months, so I figured wth? Why not? If they don't work, I will still be using them in a stylized capacity, lol.

I will be installing mine today. I feel the same way about old man winter :(

That is just SICK Jus. Great job!

Well folks, it looks like my goal of 700+ is done for the season :( The weather has cooled off rapidly over the last week. Fall has certainly arrived in Baltimore. Hoping for a new best tank with about 200 miles to go, but I fear I will likely fall short with these 45 degree mornings and 50 degree evenings. Oh well, there is always next year :rockon:

I always thought that Ford thought it was a good idea to discharge the batteries before re-loading them again. Truthfully, though, I have no idea why.

On #1 I think some of us refer to this as "battery run down". ptjones is probably right with the "why" part of it. When I leave my house in the morning, I have to climb a big hill right off the bat. It is a 30 mph road with people routinely speeding down the hill from my left at 45-50 mph, so that extra hp comes in useful for me some days. Without it, my daily mpg avg would certainly dive if my cold ICE engine had to do all the work.

Play it safe with the gas can, if you must, in order to do it safely. :)
