Oh, you're going to kill the environment with your fumes. The horror!!!
Hopefully you've noted my sarcasm. You will likely get a finger wagging from others here...
If you feel it is unsafe to go 95 mph in ANY vehicle, fine. But I'm not sure going 95 in a Maverick is inherently less safe just because it's a "cheap truck." I don't get it.
At 80 mph your hybrid gets the same mileage as my lifted FX4 4K Tow. As others have said, the increased speed really sucks fuel economy. With the 2.0-liter gas engine, I notice the biggest loss of economy occurs between 60 and 70 mph. After that, the losses are not nearly so much as you increase...

Lots has been discussed on this on this forum. In the interest of not repeating all my personal experiences, I'll link to two threads below. One is an overview of my lift build and the other is my real-world fuel economy experience post lift.
All I'll add otherwise is that is seems most of...
I have about 2,000 miles on my truck since install of the 2-inch Eibach Pro Lift Springs. No issues. Just did a road trip PA-SC and back and truck did fine. I've looked at the CV boots several times since install; no signs of wear.
My installer said the more severe angle with the lift springs...
What do you mean "hand measurements?" I used actual amount of fuel put into tank. Actually used the measured mile markers on the Interstate to compare odometer to actual distance.
Ah, I haven't put premium in my tank yet. Around here the price difference is $1/gallon. That's $15 per fill up. Hard to justify even for an extra 60 miles per tank it's more expensive.
