Questions:
- Does anyone else drive their FEH at these speeds?
- What are your mileage results?
Anything over 60-65 MPH will decrease mileage tremendously.
Here's what Ford said at their FEH event in Dearborn back on October 8-9:
Ford expected values:
50 MPG at 30 MPH
26 MPG at 70 MPH
20% savings at 60 MPH vs. 70 MPH
