Jeez.
Youâre not using fuel while engine braking. Youâre using fuel if you pop it in to neutral and idle the engine while coasting down a hill.
I get worse MPG at 70mph on flat ground in 6th than I do in 5th. Always have with 7mt badlands gearing. Going to larger tires exacerbated this. 6th is...
You coast down hills? As in, put it in neutral? If so, thatâs worse for MPG and your brakes.
If youâre shifting out of 2nd and 3rd around 2k, youâre lugging the shit out of it in the next gear. Higher RPM is safer and more efficient than lower RPM and more load/boost.
Sounds like they just tried to zip it off with an impact and when it got stuck towards the end they uggaduggaâd it off anyway, rather than cleaning up the threads. Not fordâs fault.
Obviously doesnât cover all of them but an interesting watch.
I run a lithium-ion in another car and it works well but is not daily driven. I wouldnât use one in a daily driver.
