Re: Best hypermilers in an automatic?

I'm getting fairly good mileage, given the size of my Freestyle. It's a 4000+ pound beast, but the CVT helps by leaps and bounds.

It's only flat towable up to 44MPH, so I'm not really doing any...

Re: Corolla 07 Coasting on Neutral?

After reading these posts, I've come up with a few questions.


My 05 Freestyle has a CVT, and is rated for flat towing at 44 MPH in neutral, with the engine off. I would assume that this means I...

Re: New from Ohio

I'm still waiting to enter my frist tank! I've went well over 200 miles on this one, and I'm still showing another 200+ to empty on my trip computer. The average MPG is reading 30.7 right now, as...

Re: Aerodynamics -- Boxy Flex’s secret weapon yields mediocre fuel economy

No thanks, I'll keep my 30+ MPG 05 Freestyle with the CVT. The Flex is just WAAAY to expensive, regardless of it's looks.

Ford should revisit the Probe. Design it more like the Probe V...

Re: PSI and Power Steering

Eh, just air them up at the gas station, and don't tell him. Wait until you've got a couple of tanks logged with the new PSI, and compare. :D

Re: PSI and Power Steering

In all actuality, lower pressure will actually make the tires narrower than normal. Think of a flat tire...it's always wider. The sidewall is where most of the "flex" in a tire is. Higher...

Re: 06 Awd Freestyle

Re: 06 Awd Freestyle

I'm averaging about 32 using my MPG display on the dash. I'm still waiting to add the first tank, as I filled up today, but didn't note the mileage on the previous tank.

What are you taking the...

Re: Question ragarding commuting

I wish I only lived 0.5 miles from work. It'd be a bike ride every day until the temp's dropped into the 20's in winter.

Either way, to answer your question, do a straight drive to work. Heck, one...
