I used this on my F-150. Couldn't see the difference w/wo. This is just more EPA, green garbage. More wear on the battery, starter, etc. if you are an in town driver.
You say "green garbage" like auto start stop. I think the next evolution in technology. I've driven multiple EV's for example and despite what your reservations may be about being "green". The driving experience is much better. As much as I love my Bronco every once in a while, I'm envious of the EV's on the road. There are literally zero draw backs to EV's other than 2 charging on a long trip/time and towing. Which let's be honest the majority of the population is driving around town. Other than that technology and performance wise it is far superior to any ICE vehicle on the road.
Better...you mean so you can travel 250-300 miles and then stop and wait to charge. The green is a farce...folks are being played. There are many folks that used to be pro green are no longer because of the lies that have and are being told. You want to drive an EV that's fine. Back to my original statement. The start stop on my F-150 made no difference in gas used or mileage.
I don't know a single person with an EV. Not one. And if I've ever passed one on the road, I certainly never realized it. Serious questions: How long do batteries last, and what do you do with the batteries when they reach the end of their life? What happens when the demand for electricity grows to the point that both the cost per kwh and the pollution created during the production of electricity increase substantially?
My intent was not to spark a debate but to just reply to his quip. I’ve done a lot of research and driven them. If you have never driven a Tesla or a Mach e both are substantially better than driving an ice vehicle. To put in perspective I got back into my ice car after and I felt I went back in time 30 years. I’ve lived in multiple cities in Texas. Around here I see polestars, Teslas, and Mach e all the time. I understand their short comings with towing and charge time but in reality very few times do you ever charge not at home.
In Texas the speed limit is either 75 or 80 on the highways so in reality you're doing closer to 85-90. Anything less and you get run over in this state lol.
Yeah, I'm from the North Dallas area. I live in the OK City metro now and they drive like turtles with two legs. But, my last calc was 18.9, and I usually run about 80.
