Semiconductor shortage...

[Forzfed]

This little Truck keeps amazing me.  I installed a CAI and a couple other mods.  This thing is making Prius owners jealous on the highway!  I've seen a best of 5.8 L/100 km and I am now sitting at high 8's/9.0 L/100km with 65% city driving.

Wow, I never got below 10L/100 in the 2.7 ecoboost.

Ford recently sent a letter to dealers informing them that customers will be able to order a 2021 Ford F-150 without start-stop now through
the end of 2021. This change wasn’t made in response to customer
feedback, however, but rather out of necessity. The semiconductor chip shortage has made the parts needed for the start-stop system hard to come by, so
 those that choose to give it up could take delivery of their shiny new
trucks sooner than if they insist on keeping it.

What's funny is I sent a picture of my milage to an old but young co-worker whom owns a Tacoma TRD Pro.  His response was that I am going to blow my engine.  I told him it is a diesel, totally different characteristic s than a gasoline engine.  And when ever I see him drive by I will text him and say I seen him in his gas guzzling truck.

This is with 70% city, taken today.  A shade over 1/8 of a tank, 21 gallon tank.

Dan, I am afraid this is here to stay.  The country is being overthrown from the inside.  It is not alone as most of the other free nations are further down the path than we are.

I am trying to be positive  Stopped watching the news after the election.

I read whatever news I want to know about on my phone.  Google has given up on me and only sends me news about cars and guns for the most part as I keep checking I don't want to know about this kinda stuff

That is absolutely true!  It has screwed everything up.  It is like people saying everyone should make the same wage.  If that was the case nobody would better them selves, research and development would be minimal if not non-existent.
