October 1st is when Winter grade fuel goes into effect here in the SouthWest, both gas and diesel. We will be seeing the MPG's drop per tank shortly. Whether the folks that refine it will add lubricants to the first batches at the refinery immediately after the change over remains to be seen.
If history repeats itself, a new rash of failed HPFP's should be showing up on other Ford Forums shortly, if the Moderators and Fanbois don't rip on or delete the new posters with the "$10,000 Ford won't fix it under warranty" dilemmas.
We are close to prime time for the failures to start showing, up, really close. Keep your eyes open, and ears to the ground, and if you know someone that is going through this, PLEASE, if in the USA, have them immediately report it to NHTSA and file an online report BEFORE towing it off to any Ford Dealership for repair. It could affect their outcome in a positive manner if NHTSA is contacted first, and get some compliance out of FOMOCO, being the weasels that they are.
