UDP? What will that do for mileage if he has engine issues? This should only be considered after addressing the core issues of parts and performance at stock levels. It may add some kick to his engine, but if it's not right then we've just swept the issues under the rug.
Unplug the stereo? You're kidding, right? You'd have to be driving around with the system pouding at high levels 24/7 to cause that kind of mileage deficiency, or have speaker boxes made of lead and concrete.
I haven't talked about the rest because you're correct on those points.
And as for earlier, I don't see what NOT logging fuel usage between fill-ups will do to help the guy.
That's like going into the doctor's office and going "My leg hurts."
"When does it hurt and how much? How does it feel?"
"It hurts... sometimes, and sometimes it doesn't. I don't know."
See what I mean? Ford will ask the same questions. At least the numbers will let you do quick math to see what your consumption is and what your fuel economy is.
