  1. 2025 S650 Ecoboost Premium gas milage road trip

    Yes; hand calculated fuel consumption is good. Driven carefully, I've seen almost 39mpg, but my overall hand calculated consumption is 32.5mpg. It's my daily driver and I typically lean more on the "I'm not in a hurry and the police might be around" side of things...

  2. What Am I Missing??

    The A/C being enabled is something it does. As I understand, it's partially to ensure the system stays lubricated (if you don't use it, the seals harden, and the fluid escapes) and partially because the car figures you'll want the cool or the dry air. My fastback will enable the system when...

  3. Anyone else still doing a strict 1,000-mile break-in period? Or am I in the minority?

    It's a 2025 based Mustang EcoBoost Fastback, the only option it came with is the Mustang Nite Pony Package. I mean, I guess the handbook evolved, but I would have thought that the same handbook for say the EcoBoost would be largely the same for the 2024, 2025, and 2026 model, and later ones. If...

  4. Anyone else still doing a strict 1,000-mile break-in period? Or am I in the minority?

    That's just bizarre. I don't know what to tell you... Here's the page from mine: Rest assured I didn't utilize that 1000lbs towing capacity at all during the breaking in period...

  5. Anyone else still doing a strict 1,000-mile break-in period? Or am I in the minority?

    It's in the handbook.

  6. Anyone else still doing a strict 1,000-mile break-in period? Or am I in the minority?

    Captain Confused here, as there are three questions, and answering YES could mean two things. Maybe three lol. But. I followed a break-in period. I avoided hard acceleration and varied the speed and load, which on the EcoBoost meant playing around with different transmission modes and using...

  7. Poverty Pony Dash Mat to reduce glare

    ...long as they are prescription lenses! :crackup:

  8. Poverty Pony Dash Mat to reduce glare

    This. This is what I was trying to say. And you're right, I don't much fancy trying to take apart the dashboard even in much cooler weather. There currently isn't a clause in our HOA about British swearing in a Texas suburb, but that might be a way to both make it rattle and add the rule...

  9. Poverty Pony Dash Mat to reduce glare

    So on Plasti Dip, I can only imagine the horror of attempting to remove part of the dashboard. I don't have the skill, patience, or confidence to try this. I'm going to try some matte felt over this bit. It only needs to be behind the screen, I believe, as a proof of concept...

  10. Poverty Pony Dash Mat to reduce glare

    I'd never heard of "Plasti Dip" before a few minutes ago. Thanks for the tip. I'll check it out.

  11. Poverty Pony Dash Mat to reduce glare

    Yes... That would help. And I've thought about getting sunglasses full stop, especially as the car has a sunglasses holder (I wear prescription lenses). All of the mats I've found appear to deliberately exclude the shiny stuff, presumably as it looks pretty, or something..? Here's an image from...

  12. Poverty Pony Dash Mat to reduce glare

    Phew! I'm glad it's not just me then. Wait, actually I'm not glad it's not just me... I'll hit up YouTube to see if anyone has reviewed a dash mat for the S650...

  13. Poverty Pony Dash Mat to reduce glare

    Hello all! So I have an issue with my poverty pony specification '25 EcoBoost... Glare from the dashboard, specifically the shinier part of the dash closer to the wheel and not the more matte black soft touch section. I bought the car in September and I'd notice it occasionally, but now summer...

  14. Have you tried double tapping the gas pedal?

    This was also a feature of the rental Fusion 1.5 EcoBoost from about 2019...

  15. Have you tried double tapping the gas pedal?

    Starship, for sure I enjoy it. It's also absolutely cool to learn a new way to control the automatic as there aren't many options in the EcoBoost!

  16. Have you tried double tapping the gas pedal?

    I have an EcoBoost, so I don't have paddles, a manual, four cylinders... And arguably less of a reason to use the feature except it offers me something between that gentle prod to shift down love gear, or the full on drop down five gears kickdown, or the shuffle to switch to Sport Mode... Yes...

  17. Have you tried double tapping the gas pedal?

    That's good to know...

  18. Have you tried double tapping the gas pedal?

    Works on my '25 poverty pony EcoBoost. I remember reading something about a police "pursuit mode" triggered but two firm squeezes of the pedal. And... My 2004 Saab 9-3 Sport Saloon (Sedan) had some preemptive cleverness associated with pre-fueling the turbocharger as it would recognize the...

  19. Front collision alert would let me kill myself

    Depending on your region and insurance company, they'll use disabled systems to "assist" them process and claim. Therefore, I plan to only crash on a day when I leave everything in noob mode. :cwl:

  20. Front collision alert would let me kill myself

    It does seem overly sensitive but then so too is my wife, so I drive not to trigger it. It pushed the brakes when I (foolishly) tried to turn in front of a driver who ignored the STOP sign thinking this chump in a Mustang wouldn't mind. That was me being stupidly aggressive and it cut power and...
