Could someone post the link to this?

You need a little bit more info than you are giving (the original MPG). Normalize (find) your cost per mile, get the difference on adding the new technology, then compare to the price of the new technology. Here would be the formula: Technology_Cost/( (Gasoline_Cost/Original_MPG) - (Gasoline_Cost/New_MPG) ) so at $4/gal, $1500 for technology, increasing MPG from 25 --> 30. 1500/((4/25)-(4/30)) ---> 56250 miles. 10 ---> 15 = 11250 miles 15 ---> 20 = 22500 miles 20 ---> 25 = 37500 miles 25 ---> 30 = 56250 miles 30 ---> 35 = 78750 miles 35 ---> 40 = 105000 miles 40 ---> 45 = 135000 miles 45 ---> 50 = 168750 miles 50 ---> 55 = 206250 miles You can see that adding technology to a truck or SUV to increase MPG will really pay off compared to a small car. I'd expect the technology costs to be more than you have and the increased MPG to be less than you have also.

You can respond in the user reviews section of the same review at cnet: http://reviews.cnet.com/wagon/2008-ford-ta...45.html?tag=sub

Is that true (dual clutch in MKS)?

Whatever happened to the ford lemon guy? Now THERE'S a board troll you could be proud of.
