Thanx...that's good to know. Mileage here in Kalifornistan shouldn't be any worse than anywhere else then.
Anybody ever try running the 'max' pressure listed on the tires themselves, as opposed to what Ford recommends(assuming Ford recommends lower pressures)?

Yokel, I live in Ontario Canada. It can get really eff'n cold here!!! Down to -30 Celsius sometimes. Our fuel can have up to 10% ethanol as well. Summer mileage is awesome. I was averaging 20-21 no problem.

I can't remember if you mentioned which octane you use? I contacted a couple 'tuners', and they like 91/93-obviously because it makes their numbers better. But at 30-40 cents higher/gallon, that's an additional $14+/- I gotta pay at the pump, and thus $14 right off the bat that my mileage has to counteract, JUST TO STAY EVEN. Doesn't seem possible to me. What works for you?
Thanx again

I friggen get ants in my pants).

Do not chip it and run 93 octane and consider a CAI pref. K and N and you will be getting at least 19 highway. If you chip it your warranty will go bye bye but CAI cat back exhaust you will be ok and not only that but more hp.
