I went in the back seat area and found the button, flipping the headrest dow, it looks kind of dorky but the rear view is much better. I think I will look into that rear seat delete

Vehicles with higher gears (like 3.31s vs 2.73s) means its easier to lose control in the right conditions (wet weather, for example)....even if it's just a small difference.
I will agree with everything you said except this one. 3.31 are the lowest ratio in the car from ford. I could see it going up for 3.55 or 3.73 from the factory, but why would the worst ratio concern them?
On Thursday, I had a gal and a buddy of mine ride with me to the store. My buddy was in the back seat, so he rotated the head rest up.
When I got home, I went back there to rotate the damn thing back down again, and wouldn't you know? That bastard of a button was stubborn little thing!
I don't know what is wrong with that damn thing; but I think I will dismount that thing and try to take it apart and find out why it was so hard to depress.

Unless we both misunderstood the OP.
Only to clarify, 3.31 isn't the lowest gear ratio on the 2011 MY. The GT's run as low as 3.15 (auto tranny) and the V6's are 2.73 stock
Yep, you can get the MT82 paired with the mega-high highway 2.73:1 v6 gears. It's just that you will have to custom order your car like that because the factory will not put them on the MT82 car unless specifically ordered to do so.

Learn something new everyday. I guess that helps account for the bump in mileage.
