I have the v6. I just took her for a spin, not much tire spinning going on but its real cold (which i think should help a little slip)...   I cant imagine its because i have good michelins on there, maybe its part of the reason. It also KILLS my gasmilage when I floor it from stop

Replying to: mustangpaul05 (Jan 08, 2009 1:48 pm) i have an 07 fusion sel v6. there seems to be a correlation between the average speed and gas mileage. the lower the average speed(stop and go), the lower the gas mileage. i keep the avg mpg displayed at all times. it can help you determine what has an effect on mileage. i find that stop and go kills it. acceleration, not so much. although this car supposedly does 0-60 about as fast as my first sho, i didn't buy it for that, so i don't really push the envelope. i re read your last post. my car, awd, seems to stiffen up quite a bit under 20-23 degrees, until it warms up.

Replying to: explorerx4 (Jan 20, 2009 6:10 pm) I hear you on the stop and go thing, but the only difference between "stop and go" and just "go" is having to constantly accelerate. I imagine your car has a 6 speed tranny also, even though its the AWD? those top gears seem to save the day for this car, its quite the spread between city and highway milage. even idle on my car drops the average milage surprisingly quickly Replies to this message: explorerx4 (Jan 21, 2009 2:16 pm)

Replying to: mustangpaul05 (Jan 20, 2009 7:50 pm) yes awd has the six speed also. the stop and go part of my commute is the beginning. the average mileage usually drop .2-.5 before starting back up as i get out onto the highway for maybe 8 miles.

Replying to: mustangpaul05 (Jan 08, 2009 1:48 pm) I just purchased an 06 V6 Premiere, and I must say that the pick-up on this car concerns me as well. I thought it was because I previously had a V8 and was accustomed to alot of power. But the more I drive this car I see that's not the case. I was thinking because I purchased it used and it was previously a leased car that maybe the fuel injector need a good cleaning. I also noticed that in the morning it idles a little fast and I don't know if this is just how the car is or a potential problem. Have you noticed this? And one more thing to to mention, two days ago I let the car heat up only 3 mins (was in a rush) and when I went to press the gas pedal I had no acceleration I couldn't go faster than 5mph. Have this happened to you or anyone else reading this? Replies to this message: bdyment (Feb 04, 2009 6:24 am)

Replying to: angeleyez (Feb 03, 2009 6:32 am) Something is certainly wrong. The V6 Milan is a very quick car. It is not necessary to let them warm up more than a minute.
