    Am I crazy? MPG on “Crap gas”

    I don't know if blending has improved, but it used to be that "10% ethanol" gas was anything between 1% and 25%. Ethanol produces less energy per gallon when you burn it, so mileage drops with ethanol content.

    Gen 3 2023 Major electrical issue

    Rare. But there are 200 or so computers in a modern vehicle, all connected with a local network. So probably the same number of problems as a phone or computer.

    How many miles when you took delivery?

    I’m pretty young. I grew up with The Rocky Horror Picture Show. In California with all the fruits and nuts. Transmission usually involved something contagious. :)

    Shipping cross country

    And then what? Park it in the garage and polish it on Sundays? It's a truck. It's meant to be driven. Hard. I've done the fly/drive thing and I love it. Painters tape? I'd die of embarrassment. LOL

    Ford Dealer Scams

    That's why they do it. But who certifies it? Ford? Or the dealer? I think you'll find that it's the dealer. I think you'll find that most dealers are lying scum who do a quick once over, "certify" it, and then hope that no real problems show up during the short warranty period. Buying a used car...

    How many miles when you took delivery?

    Of course they test them. Imagine the quality nightmare if they did not. Then they have to fix a lot of them. Some require more fixing than others.

    Raptor R vs Cybertruck

    I finally saw a cybertruck on the road yesterday. It looked way cooler in person than in photos. Totally impractical, but cool. That was the opposite reaction I had to the Rivian. Looked OK in photos, looked like âss in person.
