    What did everyone buy this week?

    Winchester SPX 12 ga. pump, Ruger LCP Max .380 ACP. As for the car, it didn't even need gas. ;)

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    I got some kind of bug in late October, '19. If it was Covid, it was quite uncomfortable for about 36 hours. Late spring of '20 I fell for the vaccination warning (mistaken impression you had to be vaxxed to fly). No ailments until winter of '22. Tested positive for Covid, but it never became...

    Regular or Premium

    We're back to a $0.20 difference at Costco. Last summer it was $0.50. Still, 87 is more than adequate for my commute. We were going on a road-trip to Pensacola to visit the NAS Pensacola Air Museum, but apparently the base is closed to taxpayers for a while. Even that journey would only use a...

    Regular or Premium

    Here, 93 on interstate trips, 87 on the eight-mile, twenty minute commute. Fuel-cost-per-mile is a bit better on 87. It got 26.4 on the interstate in July (avg 24.2). The commute is averaging a bit over 20.

    Real world mpg

    Unless you've adjusted the "AFE" setting, you can deduct about 10% from that.

    Real world mpg

    Not unless you mat the loud pedal all the time. My average is a bit over 20, summoning the warp drive only as needed. I have an easy commute though, few stops and average 50-55.

    Oil Life Monitor

    500 miles in three weeks is the same as I drive. The oil was changed when I bought it in June. The oil life is currently at 43%. That does include a 2,600 mile road-trip in July. That stretched it out, of course.

    Officer NOT HAPPY with the performance of his Explorer Police Interceptor

    Her complaint was when they're just puttering around on the battery and need to kick it, it kinda says "Did you need something?"

    Officer NOT HAPPY with the performance of his Explorer Police Interceptor

    No, it isn't. My Hemi Ram was almost that quick.

    Officer NOT HAPPY with the performance of his Explorer Police Interceptor

    A chance encounter with a local LEO confirms this. She said the hybrid was a dog, despite the "paper" superiority.

    Hyperflash?

    Too often the panic alarm goes off when the key's in my pocket. Not nice if it's early in the morning. My neighbors are good folks - don't want to ruin that.

    Explorer ST #3 is here @ whoosh motorsports

    I like the blue. I've fallen for the red, though.

    Hyperflash?

    I do need to ForScan the car. I've not done that yet, since I don't want to sweat my butt off sitting in there for a hour. I need to exorcise the double-honk, A.S.S. (if I can find that), set fogs-as-cornering and two-press of the panic button and a few other things I did to the Mustang and the...

    Hyperflash?

    I swapped out the rear turn signal lamps for LEDs. When I tested for hyper-flash, all was well, outside and inside. I tested several times - no hyper-flash. This morning in the way to work, the inside indicators are hyper-flashing and sometimes the "clicker" only hyper-clicking, but the outside...

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    Kinda forgot, I did these a week or so ago. Can't get used to relying on the cameras and sensors:

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    Swapped the incandescent rear turn signal lamps with LEDs. Added these "just cause": https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B08YYLYDVS?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details No, they don't enhance the paddle shifter experience.

    New aFe strut tower brace

    Agreed. I'm no welder, but that looks like my third attempt.
