Hey thanks,bruneau, for the feedback.Looks like the wife's AWD is not doing that badly compared to your figures, especially since the 19 mpg I stated was left to accumulate since day 1 and comprised of about 85% city/15% hwy for the 1st 1K miles of fairly conservative driving. Over here in the B.C. westcoast our freeway (note singular) is pretty pathetic so your kind of aggressive driving is not recommended and that's too bad because I can't fully enjoy the full power of the CVT on long stretches like you can with the super U.S. Hwy systems in your area ( I'm guessing Boston,Mass.?). After reading your post I checked the tire pressure and they were exactly 35 PSI all around compared to the recommended 32 PSI on the door sticker.However this was taken during the heat of the day right after my wife drove home.The Pirellis ride smoothly and soaks up the bumps very well so we are very satisfied with the present inflation reading.

Replying to: bruneau1 (Aug 09, 2005 7:59 am) That's even better because I love driving thru Oregon on I 5, beautiful road and great scenery with the rolling hills and pastoral setting.The only problem is that the Oregon Hwy Patrol seem to be all over the place as well as using overhead spotting planes. Love to shop in Oregon. Great prices and no State sales tax. Wow you must have saved a bundle on the FS Ltd FWD, what a deal !! Not only do we pay a higher price for our FS ltd AWD we are overtaxed with GST and Prov. sales tax.

"Poorly made gasoline can leave harmful deposits in your engine, which can cause mechanical problems, adversely affect performance and increase environmentally harmful emissions," says Jim Simnick, associate research engineer for BP. That's why Ford Motor Company recommends engine-cleaning gasoline, such as Amoco or Arco gasoline from BP, that's formulated to bring out the best performance. BP offers fuels with cleaning additives that keep your engine clean and deposit-free. So there's the word from Ford, though it sounds like a marketing partnership to me.  I tried to post a link to the article, but you have to register with myford.com first.

We will be taking delivery of our new Freestyle Limited FWD just before we are taking an extended road trip of 1200 miles one way (that's 2400 total). My question is, would it be advisable to take the new car on this extended trip during the break-in period, or would it be a bad idea?
