    I just went from 13 to 15 by going down to 33's from 34's
    My girlfriend has a Fiesta. It gets good mileage but we hate that car. It has so many issues that I can't easily diagnose but ford says is "Normal for that model. Nothing we can do." Oh really??? Is the transmission feeling like it will collapse any moment normal?? haha

    My rear view mirror fell off one day, but 38,000 miles that's the only issue.

    No my speedometer is still off. Just MPG changed. I downsized. Not the other way.

    I'm thinking the FoRS will be a good thing to buy used in like 3 years. Which should be just about perfect haha.
    The models that they want to make nice, are nice. The entire ST lineup, the F-150's with the Coyote motor, even the new mustang is way way better than the old one.

    The hatchbacks look so much nicer. The regular ones are so ugly

    Speed doesn't matter in determining MPG. You just take the number of miles and divide by the number of gallons.
