    Real world mpg

    Straight and level, with good satellite coverage, should give you a fairly accurate speed. Outside of those conditions, gps information would be suspect in my experience. For measuring distances on highways we use a meter reader connected to the vehicle and is calibrated to suit the individual...

    Real world mpg

    The odometer reading would be directly related to the speedometer reading, that would be how it calculated the distance travelled. Circumference of tires along with number of revolutions. Looking online it appears that thw 275/45ZR21s are about 3.4% smaller than the thw 255/55R20s. If Ford did...

    Real world mpg

    Even 5% off would mean your warranty would end fairly prematurely and likely impact resale values.

    Real world mpg

    Hey, are you suggesting the vehicle odometer is of by 15%. That would be far more of a scandal than any of other complaints about the vehicle.

    Ford to cut 8,000 jobs

    Guess it will depend on the source of power. Here in Ontario, more than 50% of our power come from nuclear. Therefore we have excess power in the evenings when most are sleeping, so a good time to charge batteries. That being said, if you are relying on solar and wind, that "excess" power may...

    Terrible weekend with catastrophic ST failure

    Sorry, not arguing about the title. Just wondering what you call it when you need some warranty work on a vehicle versus, say a tornado?

    Enhancing all the badging?

    The red letters look better on the rapid red versus the blue in the video. I am tempted to do it to my rapid red too.

    Premium gasoline

    Partly left, but mostly Trudeau.

    Premium gasoline

    Your prices have certainly gone up. When I travelled to the NC ST Experience in April it was only a 50 difference. Now Americans know how much Canadians have always been paying for gas. You have my sympathies.

    Premium gasoline

    Not sure about all other locations, but a higher ethanol content usually results in lower mgp and in Ontario, and likely elsewhere, 87 has 10% ethanol where our 91 and 93 are ethanol free at some stations. In the US the difference in price between 87 an 91 or 93 is negligible in my eyes and it...

    Back panel that covers storage area

    So, all this talk of a reversible panel made me have a look this morning. I have owned the ST for 2 years and never noticed the rubber side. Thanks for letting me know.

    What's everyone's drive mode?

    Even in eco when you floor it, it goes.

    What SWAG does ford give you when you attend the driving experience?

    I wish they made the ST on the power pack black instead of red.

    What's everyone's drive mode?

    Cruise control behaves differently in each mode, including accelerating upon resuming. It takes it easy on the gas in eco versus sport or normal. I use sport in town to accelerate from the stop lights.

    What's everyone's drive mode?

    Regularly use eco on the highway and sport in the urban areas. The rest of the modes are wasted on me. I do like how the vehicle in the adaptive cruise control array changes based on your mode.

    What SWAG does ford give you when you attend the driving experience?

    Don't mind the dirt, I live on a gravel road.
