[QUOTE="user 64972, post: 1037110, member: 64972"] I used the MPG function when I bought my 2007 V8 4X4 Sport Trac new and checked it using a calculator. It never matched what the calculator came up with and the MPG function on the ST was always more optimistic. That was until I had the update re-flash done to correct the tranny bump issue.....then the MGG function of the ST matched the hand calculations I made so, from the factory.....I'm not sure I'd trust the MPG function. JMO! Also, I went on a trip where I headed into a strong wind and the mileage was bad but when I came back and had a strong tailwind, the mileage was outstanding so conditions will affect your outcome. Wind, hills and load will affect it. I also added a K&N air filter and intake tube after I had owned it for a year or so and my mileage went into the can. It did look cool but the hood was down most of the time so who cared!! I stuck my foot in the gas a bit more. Sold it and went back to stock. [/QUOTE]
