At the end Ok, here is where I am with this issue. I have posted my status several time prior on this forum. Still after all of the service department actions they have not been able to resolved the issue and Ford tech service had no further actions or recommendations. Therefore I filed for a...

Update, I have returned to the Dealer's service department a couple more times (for other items and service). And each time I have them check for possible updates. The service department had no update from Ford Engineers for any additional TSBs or ideas to correct the issue of the smell. It has...

Good Luck BAT001, I had the TSB 12-12-4 done and no real improvement. You can see my previous posts above, 689, 719 & 721. I hope your experience results in a different ending. FairJim

Ya, I have not verfied the mileage cacluator either. There was only two of us plus the dog and our luggage, so not a lot. But there is some winds accross Texas. The RPMs were in the low 2Ks unless a shift down than increased between 3K to 3.5K. Cruise was on most of the time.

Just completed a 3K trip and average just over 19 mpg from Phoenix to St Louis with rain and wind (70 to 75 mph average speed). On the return we average just under 20 mpg with no major weather. Note that this is all fairly flat terrain. I am disappointed.
