As others have said the 28mpg is misleading. Here in TX, diesel runs 20% to 30% more then regular unleaded. So assuming 20% extra diesel cost the 28 diesel mpg is equivalent to a 23 mpg gas engine. That's nothing special. This diesel merely matches the current 3.5L ecoboost in torque and...

Skyking's math yields the same answer as your method: yours>28 mpg*.85=23.8 mpg for the diesel motor adjusted for price premium of diesel his> 28 mpg - (28 mpg * .15)= 23.8 mpg for the diesel motor Actually here in TX diesel is always at least 20% more expensive than gas. The 23.8 price...

Here's an educated guess that the 2.7 will yield 26mpg. http://www.torquenews.com/106/new-27l-ecoboost-v6-will-make-2015-ford-f150-most-efficient-truck-us Could it match the Dodge diesel at 28mpg when the 9 and 10 speed transmissions come online? The diesel is a $3,000 upcharge while the 2.7...

Aluminum gets the headlines but the frame improvements are just as significant IMO Ford actually increased the use of high-strength steel from 23% to 77% in its F-150 frame -- making the backbone of the truck just as durable as ever. The high-strength, military-grade aluminum can be found...

I suspect the GT350 has arisen due to the planned weight reduction for the new Mustang which would present the perfect opportunity to drop down in power (and price) from the GT500 But many have doubted the rumored 200 to 300 lb weight reduction since Ford was completely silent about weight...

just an FYI, these prices are long gone

So is the GT500 662HP 5.8 liter engine history? http://www.torquenews.com/106/new-proof-next-generation-range-topping-ford-mustang-will-be-called-gt350 If the GT350 assumes the mantle at the top of the Mustang lineup then will we ever see this beast of a motor available again. If not, R.I.P. :(

love the passion this category of car generates :) I hope they stick around a long time Fact about v6 Challengers: only recently have they sold more v6 versions than v8; 25% in 2009 43% in 2010 47% in 2011 52% in 2012 Each year they sell a bigger % of V6 cars I'm guessing people...

^^ agree Anywhere on the flyer/ad does it say "valid at participating stores"? I would think they would have to honor the ad unless Microcenter franchises some of their stores and even then I believe they have to put the disclaimer "valid at participating locations" in the ad.

If you are willing to wait, you can catch the 1TB Blue for about $5 cheaper from time to time

Yes, at this price it is a great value for a gaming CPU

perhaps this is the mystery OEM option; choose SRA or IRS http://www.autoblog.com/2013/12/17/2015-ford-mustang-to-offer-solid-rear-axle-sort-of/?ncid=edlinkusauto00000016&ts=1387321389

Agree with several others that replacing the factory oil drain plug with an aftermarket magnetic one is the easiest and inexpensive step to take

If you want to do the leg work yourself then this is a good comparative site http://pcpartpicker.com/p/ycZG Just choose STORAGE then filter by clicking the SSD box then click the column heading CAPACITY to group the drives by storage size

my Ford Fiesta is programmed to flash an oil change reminder every 10k miles
