no biggie. I guess I just expect too much from you. 
I still get sihtty gas mileage though....only 6-9 mpg in town but can get up to 21 or maybe 22 on the highway at about 55 mph in 5th gear.
How is the goat?

Guess it's a good thing that I kept the old V6 around for my DD. And that, I think, will be the answer to the riddle of how the muscle car and the big power performance rides will survive in a future of big gas prices. People will have their smaller displacement, high fuel economy car for everyday use........and their big boy muscle ride for weekends and fun runs. Well.........at least, that's how I'm doing it.

i think the technology where they shut off the fuel to some of cylinders is the wave of the future. I wouldn't trust it in MY car yet, but it seems like a good idea.
In the future, they'll have torque monster electric motors. an electric motor would make a roots and twin screw blown motor look like nothing in the instant torque off the line department (assuming they had similar peak torque, which the electric has at 0.000000000000000000001 rpm).

Was you refering to MDS? I know DC and GM are messing with that but is Ford tampering with it I wonder?
