Doesn't sound that great compared to the Fusion, but factor in COD, size and weight, it is doing just as good as the FFH did. It may only be half the MPG, but it is nearly twice the mass. I would say that is happy MPG talk! :)

That's why I posted it in the Happy MPG talk even if it's not FFH related.

We now have an additional passenger + luggage and it dropped by about 1 MPG. The AC runs pretty hard all the time just because it's so freaking hot down here in FL which doesn't help with high MPGs as we all know.

No problems here on either the iPad or PC. Perhaps y'all need to clear cookies and cache?

In regular browser mode or mobile mode? The problem only exist with the mobile view. I have two indicated since last week or so.

And talking about MPG Happy Talk.

Current trip avg. in the Explorer is 23 MPG that's with 4 adults + kid in car seat + luggage.

One observation I have already made is that the display and calculated tank mileage are very close to each other. It almost seems that the inaccuracy increase with increasing MPG.

Oh, and one other thing, those countdown timers for the pedestrian crosswalks at the traffic lights are one of the greatest inventions for us hybrid drivers. Those countdown timers help us to know if we can just coast since we can see the light will turn red before we get there anyways, or if we should accelerate a bit to make the light while it is still green to avoid having to come to a complete stop, which would force us to then rebuild our momentum again with the ICE from a dead stop.

I agree the timers are awesome unfortunately it seems in most cases we (hybrid drivers) are the only ones to pay attention.

Is that why the traffic alert is working in our Explorer when using the Nav? I thought it was part of the Nav deal but now I'm wondering!?! I never really used the Nav before so I never saw it before yesterday.

Reads and locks pretty good on the website.

Good luck and fun with your new toy.

Welcome fury and congrats on your second Fusion.

Sounds like you feel right at home and drive the FFH like it likes to be driven.

I only use Google maps for navigation since it has all the information I need to go from point A to point B.

I used to have a TomTom One but that had a software glitch and was dead after a software update.

Since my experiment with an action cam as dash cam didn't quite work out I just bought a Falcon Zero F170 64GB, 1080p Full-HD 1920*1080p 170° Wide Angle. So far it makes nice videos.

Maybe you can give ComEd a call don't they pay $20 for the refrigerator and take it away. Maybe just for really old ones.

Did the Ford Owners website help you come to that conclusion? :)

 

I didn't even think about that but yes that would be another example (not that Ford necessarily programs the website).

Besides the BT song information not being displayed another really odd one is that you can't change the source while it's searching for a disconnected USB device like my phone from the last drive.

 

Ditto. It displays on the main screen, don't know why that can't be sent to the right screen.

The mysteries of software development...Ford seems to a few of them.

Wow, can you imagine the effort it takes to fold those maps before stuffing them in the envelopes?? What a magnanimous offer! ;)

One reason they are selling it for $150 :)

I was talking to a Tesla owner while in Atlanta. He was planning a road trip down to Key West.

In general he said it's not too difficult to get the car charged all the way down.

Something that seemed really odd was that there aren't any charging station in Miami or vicinity.

"Lengthy" ;) but very enjoyable review.

I feel the very same about the length of driving. Nothing aches, nothing cramps just enjoyable driving.

Here is the real data print out for the approximate same time frame. As noted by many others the car computer over reports be about 2.5 MPG.

10k miles for $600 is pretty cool.

We are going to have a comparison soon when we take the Explorer on a road trip.

Somehow there has been an update to the mobile version of the side.

On one hand this added the annoying ad right on top but there is something else.

In the past the little red notification update indication would disappear once you looked at it now it stays.

Now you would need to activate the regular desktop side and then it would reset.

Could that be checked and fixed, please.

Well another 10000 miles down. This one includes all winter driving and another road trip to Atlanta. I forgot that it rolled over at 10k.

43 MPG right on the money.

Makes me happy and I'm still amazed about some peoples lifetime MPG.

Well I'll be...

 

I'm at Ford Service right now and they found a small corner piece of a razor blade in one of the tires that was probably causing a slow leak. I don't know how long that's been in there. I guess the sensor worked as designed, this time.

 

They are fixing the tire now.

Stopped by my dealer for an oil change and they found a nail in the front right tire the same one that indicated the low tire pressure a few weeks ago.

They fixed it on the spot and 45 min later I was on my way home with fresh oil and a fixed tire.

A little off topic but why did you have to replace the bumpers?

I don't have a scientific answer, but I can't imagine that the battery requires AC cooling at any ambient temperature. If it does, it should be noted in the manual.

It's a very hidden and closed in space so the fan will help lower the temps which would otherwise be much higher the ambient. Even my lawnmower battery comes with a fan which is always one when charging.

Same experience on the Explorer MFT is very similar but things like the heater settings are different. For example there are no buttons in the dash for the seat heaters it's only accessible thru the MFT UI.

The mobile version of the forum site now has a really annoying advertisement window on top of the page.

It takes up half the screen of an iPhone 6. I mean I do understand that the site has to be founded but that's a little intrusive.

Thanks all, friends. I got my new car yesterday. Thanks

Which one? :)

That's what the warning is for isn't it?

I had the same after putting my summer tires back on. Somehow by laying around one tire lost some air no big deal in my opinion.

Put some fresh air back in and the warning will go away no need for a dealer visit but that's just me thinking out loud. ;)

Man, you have a lot of catching up to do, I have 45500 on mine and climbing! LOL

Very true I'm at 37116 after this trip and the reason is fairly simple less driving = more work done.

I have been working a lot from home over the winter up till now that saves me about 80 miles a day. I would probably be at 42-43k without doing that.
