#108 of 110 Tips for Good Fuel Economy for MMH by transpower Aug 10, 2009 (6:56 am)
Here's what I've learned over the past two years: 1. Go back to your dealer and get the computer recalibrated. Ford/Mercury keeps updating the settings. My current setting, made a week ago, is quite amazing: I'm staying in electrical mode MUCH longer. 2. Replace the air filter with one from K & N. 3. Use 40 psi in your tires, preferably nitrogen from Nitrofill. 4. Use BP Invigorate gasoline, which cleans away all the engine gunk. Now I'm getting 30 mpg around town, instead of 26-27.

Replying to: transpower (Aug 10, 2009 6:56 am) You get that mileage because of your slightly lighter foot and definitely not because of BP gasoline or nitrogen in your tires (which will wear out prematurely due to higher psi I might add) Replies to this message: transpower (Aug 25, 2009 7:22 am)
