WTF does the note mean? Doesn't the cat heat up by design - more specifically, by Ford's design? What control do you have over how fast the cat heats, unless their note is some sort of code for "let it idle for 10 minutes before driving" - but then again, wouldn't they just come out and say that?
As for winter gas (and I could be mistaken here) but I thought there was some sort of law that forced fuel companies to only serve winter gas between certain dates.
I think what the note is really saying is "too bad pal, live with it."
