Part III: Website/GH stuff!
1. I just saw something about the FEH in the news!
That’s great, and we hope you’ll share it with the rest of us. The best thing to do is try to find the same information online (If it’s in the paper, try that papers website, etc.) and post it not in the FEH/MM forum here, but the News and Journalism forum.
2. My MPG display and my fuel receipt don’t agree!
This happens. A lot. The A/N system uses a data point method of compiling the MPGs. At the same time, you may not always be putting in the same amount of fuel.
3. My tanks suck!
Well, this happens. Most of us have some pretty crappy tank data for the first four or so tanks. Additionally, cold, wind, cargo, AC, and other factors may contribute to a poor tank. Post it, and if you want, explain in the info section why that tank data isn’t as good as you’d have liked.
4. How do I get a signature that shows my tank data?
See this thread:

5. What's the Ford Dearborn Escape Hybrid Experience?
An invitation only event held by Ford at their Dearborn Michigan development facility to help FEH owners understand and use their vehicle to its potential. It was held in October 2005, and gave us an opportunity to ask the engineers who designed the systems questions about said systems, and gave us a look at other cools stuff.
You can read about it here:

6. Why did we get a FEH?
You can read up on why some of us got one here:

7. I have a question!
Feel free to ask questions, someone will answer you. However, please check first, make sure someone isn’t asking the question already, or has just asked it before posting your new thread with the question.
8. What are some other websites I can go to?
There are a number of
green sites that you can go to that discusses hybrid and other alternative technologies.
Hybrid Cars website, http://hybridcars.com
Yahoo FEH Group, http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/...guid=163771593
9. I just got a FEH/MM, what do I do now?
Well, if you haven’t registered, do so. If you have, make sure to update your info to show you’re an owner of a FEH/MM. Make an introduction thread, or update said introduction thread with your car info. Add your FEH/MM to the database, and give it a good name.
As a bonus, you can go to the EPA, (
www.fueleconomy.gov) and register there, adding your tank data there as well to share with anyone who goes there how the vehicle really performs!
Enjoy!

Thanks to Jason, xcel, GaryG, and others at GH for their help.
Nyah nyah. I did it. If I missed anything let me know. If you can help get rid of a ? or have some other correction, let me know. If a mod can sticky this, it would probably help. (if you have a correction/suggestion, mention which section first.)
