I've heard this about the Ford Eco Boost Engine

Chevrolet Sonic Summer highway driving 48 mpg
Winter, around town short runs 14 to 18 mpg
This is why I ask people who either b*tch about or tout their mileage, how it was taken.....
And as you can see in the following screen grab of my mileage app
This time of the year and different driving conditions greatly affect mileage...
Gas is high test, and as you can see I don't drive much in winter...:lol:

I love my Bluetooth OBD2 and dash command app. 
If you warm you vehicle for 3 minutes regardless of time of year city mileage jumps substantially.

I just tried that app on my car......I love my Bluetooth OBD2 and dash command app.

Now I don't need that OBD2 code reader my wife bought me for Christmas, at least not for my own car...
I like the performance options of the obd2. I'm looking at a tunable ECU to tweek the settings for more oomph towing although it doesn't lack, I just like to tinker. I bought a new cold air intake system that is to add 50HP+. I'm looking forward to seeing the true numbers over varying conditions. Being a digital gear head is fun when you can get instant results on any performance gains or losses through the powerband but I still enjoy tweaking a Holley and tinking with timing for peak performance on my old muscle cars.
I think I'm gonna keep the OBD2 reader that my wife bought me...
The app connected to my car via Bluetooth ok...but it was showing impossible rpm on the idling engine. While the regular OBD2 reader got the vehicle V.I.N. number right the app got it wrong....Plus a few other thing were not kosher so I can't trust it to give me true codes..
When you get something like that app for free you get what you pay for....
DashCommand works like a charm with my ELM327. There is a trial version on play store. Easy to use and every feature you can imagine.

I'll wait till I get an iTunes card, I don't trust that site to leave my credit card # there....
Other way around.
Partnership with Ford Motor Company
From 1979 to 2010, Mazda had a partnership with the Ford Motor Company, who acquired a 7% stake in 1979 and by 1996, owned 33.3% of Mazda. Under the administration of Alan Mulally, Ford gradually divested its stake in Mazda from 2008 to 2010, with Ford currently holding 2.1% of Mazda stock in 2014[13] and severing most production as well as development ties.

Looks like I didn't do a good research before I purchased that app for $11.--
I now find out I need a bluetooth interface plug in device such as OBDLink LX Bluetooth for it to operate at a cost of $99.
So I think I'll pass and take the $11 loss...... It's just the price of 2 coffees at Starbuck....:lol:
