    The F-150 EcoBoost RWD is listed at 18 MPG City, 25 MPG highway, and 21 MPG combined. The 4WD version is 1-2 MPG lower. Which version did you have ?? If it was the 4WD version, your right foot could easily account for the difference.

    It was a 4x4. I'm and old man I'm more into stylin' these days. It was very windy, but I can't believe that would lower the mileage by 5mpg. It was an '013 with about 30K. If I were looking I'd definitely go for the 5.0.

    nice looking car. We are happy with our Fusion Energi - of course a completely different car than you have. Those look like pretty low profile tires, how's the car handle? Must be pretty good.

    MSRP was $40,485

    A-Z plan got it down to $36,968

    along with $4,150 worth of rebates = $32,818 final price.

    Add Taxes, tags & title fees....Got it on the road for almost exactly $35,000.

    Now I've got a new mantra that I will begin chanting whenever it is that I get used to the 325 HP/380 FT-LB TRQ:

    Paula and I went to look at an RS yesterday. Paula liked it a lot till we looked into the financing payments. Unless you can put like 50% down or have a rich relative the monthly payments are stupid crazy. Maybe we'll buy a used one in a couple years after the depreciation takes 1/2 the value out of the equation.

    New car prices are NUTS!!

    My Marauder at $28,500 is the most I ever paid for a car and to look at $40K little cars just doesn't do it for me....sorry!!

    If it weren't for lenders having low interest rates and 10 year financing....the prices would certainly erode!!
    No Marauder

    The one mod you need to do is a oil catch can setup.
