    Ford lies about fuel economy.

    So I drive a 1999 Mercury Cougar. slighty tricked w/tint and neco stripe. I hate this thing mechanically, its a ford. But atm Its all I got. The sunroof broke twice and ive gone through about 8,000 alternators and fuel pumps.

    The only upside is the compliments I get and the fact its fun to drive.

    One thing pisses me off the most tho.
    My gas mileage is like 9 mpg. Wtf? Ive taken it to mechanic after mechanic theyve all said its normal for owners to average only 5-15 mpg in this car. Ford just made up the fuel economy.


    I still have the msrp sticker where it says 25 is average.

    What the hell.

    Can I sue or something. I might aswell be driving an H2

    25 is under optimal highway conditions, I'm sure.

          What's super ironic is that after Ford took over Jaguar, it went from one of the world's most unrelibable brands, to one THE most reliable brands.

          Go figure. Ford of all companies.

                        Do you think Hemi is just a bunch of hype?

                        They seem to have done good with the whole marketing of it.

                          sounds like a bunch of hype to me. But perhaps if you are pulling a trailer, you might need something with more power.

                          The reason why I get decent gas mileage is because I have the smaller V8 engine. I don't need the extra power. I just need enough power to do the off road activities I enjoy (ie not getting stuck).
