Are you changing the master cylinder with those new brakes? Seems to me you will have much longer pedal travel if you don't up the capacity of the mc to match the extra volume of the caliper. How about the extra heat generated by the much larger thermal mass of the larger rotors? Will you modify...

Mike is "5 star" a tune? I suppose it must be if you mention transmissions? I've used water-methanol injection to cool cylinder heads and permit much higher manifold pressures and of course dragsters use an alcohol but I am going back to the drawing board (Wikipedia?) to do more research on...

Did you read that thread? Can you explain why it makes that noise? Another poster asked the question which one of us attempted to answer.

Thanks for that table. How can you use an average when a third of the states (16) have 91 maximum? If I live in one of those 16, your "average" is meaningless.

Generally that's true as long as the engine is tuned for it. Or at least that's my understanding. My take on this engine is that it is tested with some sort of 92 fuel which it needs to make its rated horsepower, yet it is allowed to use lower octane but, expect less power due to the knock...

"...not even real gas used." Doesn't that make the ratings even more misleading? Anyway, that's what I've been trying to find out, what kind of fuel do they use for testing? As far as power loss goes, that's immaterial. My point, well one of them, is why did Ford choose a standard that cannot...

Lots of gum-flapping here but no one has an answer to how many have 92 octane available?

So whose opinion do you think I should be writing about? Yes, of course its mine. aren't you stating your opinion? Still no useful contribution. You are assuming that the average buyer should fully understand the ramifications of the marketing claptrap that Ford prints? Gee, I wonder why we...

Ooh a mob. The point is (sorry Stormtrooper, your thread) there is some confusion about fuel. So, do you have anything to add to the discussion on fuel? Its still not reasonable to trumpet a standard that a large percentage of your customers can't attain, so in the absence of any information...

Tmac, my dealer is picking up my car this morning to replace the driver's seat. Is that considered normal in your world? The middle seat behind the driver is on order. You must have an empty dance card if you think this is a legitimate part of life.

Very helpful, thank you. If none of this concerns you, why are you replying to my thread? Go back to painting your taillights black and don't overtax your intellect.

Mine does that too, riding on the ferry, everything supposedly off, a series of "solenoid sounds" happens throughout the 40 minutes or so that we're in the car. I suspect its something to do with the proximity of the key but its annoying, interrupts our naps!

1. You are right, I think the ST is a pos, but ultimately, I paid for it and its mine. As per affording premium fuel, I paid cash for the car and yes, I do regret it. Ad hominem attacks on me are peurile and the sign of a tiny mind. Blame the buyer? How many of these have been bought back by...

I don't think my leather will last long enough to need cleaning, just have it replaced on warranty.

The little USB door is so flimsy it bends instead of latching. That "carbon fibre" plastic that looks like Mactac. Remember that stuff? It also fits together like a New York sidewalk.

If you have the document, print the bit about the fuel? Your answer was not definitive.

I get it - tons of ethanol. Its not a true 93 octane gasoline fuel because it has so much ethanol and although you FF engine may like it, you are using more of it per mile therefore its not cheaper. We need the SAE document to determine the standards that Ford uses but I'm not spending $85 for it!

Around here, the higher the octane the higher the price - what gives? Also,the higher the grade the less ethanol. I run high-test in my power washer and outboards to get less ethanol so it doesn't turn to garbage over the winter. Ethanol is supposed to have lower BTUs than gasoline? I'm outta...

I had some surgery yesterday and could not drive myself home from the hospital. I rode in the centre seat and discovered how truly awful this suspension is. No compliance, it rides like a horse was pulling it. Every road crack or divot is magnified through the car and I felt like a pea in a...
