I think you can try this out when you reset the economy meter (sorry for bad terminology  ) just after taking you foot off the accelerator. The economy meter should show high numbers in mpg or 0.0 in l/100km until idle speed is achieved or accelerator is pressed. |
Most American cars dont have MPG guages, and the Cougar's isn't in real time, like say, the one in bimmers.
But they damn sure have 27 cupholders!
