Gas Mileage On Focus Gone To Pot
#11
letting the car heat up first sound like its exactly what there saying... if your just makeing short trips .. 5 mins or less .. then obviously the car isnt really gonna have time to get up to temperature.

and the cat needs to be nice and hot inorder for it to properly work .. that's how some shops used to "force" cars to fail emissions test .. they'ed aim that massive fan towards the ground, forcing cool air under the car and onto the cat, thus making it seem like the cat was failing and then telling you it needs to be replaced.

so .. just hit the automatic starter 5 mins b4 you go outside in the morning, and your good to go
