Dealer said the issue wouldn't effect MPG, but if it's not firing correct, I don't see how it can't hurt the MPG......

I took mine into the dealer and had my sales guy ride with me at the end of last year. I was disappointed in the mileage at 70-75. He hops in, we get on the highway, set the cruise at 75, reset the computer and I'm reading 20 or so. 10 miles later, turn around and do the same. Same thing. So that took out most any hill/wind factor. Course I can't repeat it on my own. But I never reset the computer except when I fill up. I'm happy with it though, not much else can do what the truck can, and get decent mileage. I just think Ford was a bit optimistic in their numbers.

Yea, I am not expecting 20 all the time, but I am hoping I can manage 15-17 average. I drive like a Gpa thought It's like a game for me to see how high I can get it

You do realize that the MPG numbers are EPA generated, not determined by Ford?

Yes, I realize that the EPA controls it, however, Ford promotes the heck out of it. It's in every magazine, tv ad, online ad.

Yea, wishing I had bought new, but I am thinking that if I go through this a few times and they don't get it fixed, I will make them buy it back for a new one.

Update: They replaced the inter cooler (CAC) I think? Anyway, ran great for 2 days, and now doing it again...... Will take it back Monday. I think I give it 2 more chances, then make them buy it back and just buy a new 2013
