Damn, 34mpg??? From a gas motor??
If your other ride is an F150 I bet that must be shocking. I bought my F150 in 2003 and put 90,000 miles on it by 2005. Since summer 2005 its gotten about 2500 miles put on it, haha..
You have a manual or an auto? Just as a heads up, dont beleive that "lifetime tranny fluid" bullshit on the auto. It will last about 100-120K, until the point that the tranny is totally shot. But they figure thats the 'lifetime' of the car. And if the 2.0T is like the 1.8T, follow the oil change intervals and use synthetic, and if you find you are low on coolant do NOT use parts store green coolant. When mixed with the G12 coolant it will form a gel which will clog up everything in its path.
