It is obvious you are not happy with your MME, but seriously. It is well known that cold temperature and aggressive driving kills range. And it is common knowledge that the range estimate is based on a EPA test cycle that is often significantly different from the way people actually drive. You should take some responsibility for not researching what you were buying and not blame Ford for your lack of knowledge.
You also know, I am sure, that the GOM is heavily based on how you drive the car. If you want better range, drive slower and turn off E-Heat. It is easy to beat a GOM range of 160 miles if you really need to.
Last winter my worst 100% range estimate was around 180 miles, and that was in weather with temperatures dipping below 0 F at night, and even some days. I have a GT as well, so if your GOM says 160, it must be due to your driving behavior. Which you can control. There is no need to blame Ford for that.
If you want to blame someone else besides yourself, blame the EPA for mandating a test that gives better results than you can achieve. It is good to blame them anyway, right Rick? Time for my daily bad government rant...
