I thought so at first but then I realized its wireless transmitted messages from Ford Head office to purposely mal-function. One day when I'm not feeling well, I'm going to throw a code too :sarcastic:

I had a little fun with the focus earlier today. I was coasting down a long hill in neutral at about 35mph or so, and I hit the reset button on the MPG screen.

I sent this pic to my wife from my phone, she said how the hell did you do that??

Now we know how the manufacturers get those high numbers that we can never get in real life driving.

I anxiously await someone to say "SHOPPED! I can see the pixels." lol
I did the same thing with the Avalanche today.

So without staying off topic, what's the deal with the Ford POS?

SHOPPED!....LOL

I don't know what's going on with the truck, I know I don't have time to get it into shop. So its gonna have to wait til I have time or break down at the side of the road. Which ever comes first.

Lets start a broke down truck "Pool", I say 5 days and its side of the road bait...any other takers?

It's a Ford odds are it's gonna be on the side of the road sooner or later. This is a suckers bet.

I can get the wifes HHR to read 99.9 when I coast down hill too.

Now the trick is to get it to read 99.9mpg legitimately and still have decent power :great:
