NP. Sticker was $43.7K. Sale price was $30.7K. No -- that didn't include my trade. That was their selling price after all discounts/rebates. It was a smaller dealer. They even sent us 2 doz. homemade cookies in the mail!
EPA is 17/24. I've been making 20 on my daily work commute: temp in the 20s + winter gas. In the summer I should be able to get 22ish.

Yes -- I sure do. My only complaint would be the lousy GY RSAs Ford used as OEM. That's about the oldest (and worst) tire in GY's passenger car lineup. Oh well, most OEM tires are sub-par.

I hear you, we have the same ones on the Fusion. They seem kind of noisy after less than 20K.

My 07 Fusion still has the original tires. Continentials. Great tire with 20K left in them.

Currently running MC 5w20 + P1 filter -- changed at 700 miles. The first year will be MC + MC filter becaused I received free maintenance for 1 yr. I typically use Pennzoil Platinum or Pennzoil Ultra + Napa Gold or P1 filters.

When you can, give edge a try. Both of the vehicles I've used it in seem to like it alot. Quieter runnin (especially on cold starts) and feels like it has more pwer.

^ Thanks for the tip. I'll try it if I can find it on sale. I'm not really loyal to 1 brand. I try whatever has a good deal. We are limited to AZ, AAP, and O'Reillys (no Pep Boys). I've been wanting to try Kendall as well. I finally found some Trop Artic 5w20 for ~$2.4x/qt in IA (during Christmas vacation).
