Hi y'all! I'm a new member of this group and also a new owner of a 2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid. So far I love it - especially the great fuel economy. I now...
Hello Group, Very happy with my 08 Mariner Hybrid purchase and averaging between 31.5 amd 32 mpg in mixed city/highway driving. The CVT variations in the rpms...
As a followup to my last post - - I did have the battery pack replaced (I was told it cost Ford $8,000) on Monday, July 9th. The "Wrench" light is no longer...
I have found that my mpg as indicated on the read-out is dead accurate. I now have 5500 miles and am getting 34 around town and 30.1 on trips. I have AWD. ...
Issue Number: IR-2007-140 Purchasers of Ford Hybrids Still Qualify for Tax Credit WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service announced that purchasers of ...
I was so disappointed in the Nav system. The GPS in my other car was a PALM PILOT GPS, and it blew that overpriced system out of the water. I still can't...
Sounds like you are happy with your MMH. I am looking at possibly purchasing one. As yours is an 08, how many CD's or DVD's are there for the NAV system? Any...
Thanks. I think that it was your posts that alerted me to this situation. My local dealer is rather much in the dark on the model. Kinda scarey dennis...
I know this may sound a bit strange, but I need to know if the _2006_ MMH fill tube for the gas tank has a flapper over the fill hole so fumes do not escape or...
I have had mine for a few weeks now. Miles at 3200. mileage averages 29.9, overall - which is great. The car has become my go to work car. Things I've...
Fortunately I bought my '07 and '08 before they became scarce. I got major discounts on both! Check your tire pressure. I find the mpg read-out is precisely...
Yep - did file for the PA state Tax rebate. Didn't think of the tire pressure causing the mileage difference between real & dashboard. But, I did check them...
Try to max your rpm at 2000 to 2500. Try increasing your tire pressure about 5psi. Mine came delivered at 45psi and I drropped them down to 37. The '07 had a...

My failure to leave a space after the URL evidently caused the link to fail for some folks, so here it is again: http://pluginwannabe.org If this doesn't work...
I'm sorry if I left the impression that I was disappointed - I'm not. I am grateful for all the hint's about getting better mileage. I did up the tires to 35...
I thought about this concept, and set it aside. While it seems like a good idea, it appears to replace the cost of gas with the cost of electricity. That may...
I agree with you on corn-based ethanol - that's a bad deal. However, I urge you to re-examine the electricity vs. gas question, especially if saving money is...
... I'd say that you are doing pretty well to go 2 miles running on the battery before the ICE starts up. I average more like 1 to 1.5 miles and sometimes...
Hi jimihskunk, Sorry for this late posting... I just joined the group. re: your September 19 posting My '06 MMH does not have the flapper on the fill tube. I...
