 Was skeptical of performance, economy 
wise, during 1st 1000 miles. My 1st 
real test came during trip of 300mi.  
Averaged 24.1mpg, with some 
around town driving at the dest. 
Noticed appreciable increase in town 
driving since around 2000mi. Now 
averaging 20.6 town driving. Driving 
Taurus wagons since 1988. They fill my 
need for sedan like performance with 
extra cargo space. 1st experience with 
DOC engine. At first, a bit offset with 
the different sound resonated until I 
looked under the hood and saw the 
engine.
