If the device was $20 I'd buy it. At $100 I will just manually turn it off.
Mythbusters did a big test to see if the stop/start actually saved gas, and it did, like 2 to 5% better. Plus they used a car with a key to turn it on and off at stoplights
I have no idea if this is true or not
.....First the myth: Most refiners don't really make midgrade gas. They make regular and premium and that's what's stocked underground at the gas station. When you squeeze the midgrade handle you get a cocktail of the two fuels, "splash blended" as you...
I was reading in a different forum and a person mentioned the three different types of plastics an outside mirror could be made out of and their melting point (Celsius). Found it interesting.
ABS – acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene 190-270
ABS/PC Alloy 245-265
Polycarbonate 280-320

Let me first say, I respect what you're saying. I'm just stunned by the mirrors melting. :like:
So you're saying it was car owners fault for parking by reflective windows, and the car owner should pay for the repair?
I saw your post and the melted mirrors. (thanks for posting those) I still don't think it should be happening. or normal.

My 3 piece 5ft bed cover is plastic. If I park it by...
You're correct. If it's vandalism they won't cover it. I was thinking you would take it to a Ford dealer and they would tell you if it was covered or not under their warranty.
Let us know what happens :thumbsup:
It looks like vandalism to me.
I know you said you were with your truck all day, but could it have happened overnight or the day before.
It's still under Ford warranty, correct? So you'll be taking it into a Ford dealer?
