Good reference Linda ... included in the report is "The laboratory fuel economy results are adjusted downward to arrive at the estimates in the Fuel Economy...
I have read others discussing how the MPG increases over time with the FEH, speculating different reasons. Believe there should be test data on this by Ford...
I believe the automakers have totally underestimated consumer demand for hybrid mainstream vehicles (such as FEH), perhaps based on the low sales of Prius and...
I picked up my vehicle in a hurry yesterday and I didn't get the remotes to unlock the doors. I didn't realize that the wireless door-unlocking remotes were a...
