Escort mini-update...
Hi folks,
Still breathing here...
Need to collect up my receipts and do my log up.
My Escort has been annoying the hell out of me on the gas mileage front. Sometimes it runs great, sometimes it doesn't. Got an intermittent issue of some sort that I can't put a finger on. Also have had several issues, bad wires, oil leak, alternator going out, which have had impacts.
Also been having an erratic driving schedule, some weeks have a huge amount of city driving, some don't, been driving it around with couches, carpets, beds and crap on the rack and working it hard... in all that it's been getting rather hard to really know what the mpg numbers are really doing.
Getting no codes, just sometimes it starts and runs awesome, pulls like a train and "feels" like it's using less gas at cruise, other days it runs a little stumbly and laggy and feels like it's using more than it should.
With all that, haven't moved forward with 2nd phase of mods/experimenting. Waiting to get stable figures.
Road Warrior.
edit:
<<< Those are winter figures still showing, it's been doing 30mpgish lately.

Without fuel, they were nothing..thundering machines sputtered & stopped..Only those mobile enough to scavenge, brutal enough to pillage would survive. The gangs took over the highways, ready to wage war for a tank of juice
