Met with John Dixson a new proud owner of a '08 FWD MMH and member here who lives 20 miles north of me. I wanted to compare FE and other things to my '05 FWD FEH when new and report my findings here.
John is running 35psi in his Eco-Plus tires, so coasting was not as good as my FEH. He has just 1,100 miles on his MMH, so it's not broke-in yet either. I took Johns MMH on a ~20 mile RT to a nice little restaurant where we had lunch. I averaged 53mpg, which was about 12mpg better in my '05 back in the days with 1,100 miles on my '05 FEH. It's a winner folks! The ride, the looks, nav sys and the comfort is so much better now.
Good luck John, you have a great vehicle and Ford is job 1!
