    Talking New record on MPG for me.

    Well so i had the wrong spark plugs installed a while back, there where 1/2 and inch longer then normal and so cuz of that, my Vx was running even more crappy and i didn't notice it. So i after killing my 6th cylender coil, and spending 240 bucks on a tow and 350 bucks for new spark plugs, dyno, tranny and engine inpection and a new freaken coil. My VX runs even better now. Today i toped My gas with 400 miles per full tank. Making it at 18 MPG, Weeeeeeeeeeeee I'm Happy . I went from 2 month ago having it at 250 miles per tank to 340 to now 400, yay.

    Sooner or later I am going to buy a new EGR myself. I want to see if it helps oil consumption as well...

    One of my company vehicles that I used, new, on the window sticker touted a whopping 25 mpg. I consistanly got 15 mpg. I called Ford and they said...

    "25 mpg is just an estimate."
