WE HAVE FOUND THIS TO BE A VERY OOD AUTOMOBILE EXCEPT FOR ONE NOTABLE DEFECT.  THIS DEFECT IS DESCRIBED BELOW.*AK    THE AUTOMOBILE'S SPECIFICATIONS INDICATE THAT IS HAS A 19 GALLON FUEL TANK.  THE FUEL GAUGE  AND INSTRUMENTATION PANEL COMPUTER ALL CALCULATE FUEL USAGE BASED UPON A 16 GALLON FUEL  TANK.  FOR EXAMPLE, IF THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATES 1/2 FULL, THE FUEL USED IS APPROXIMATELY  7.5 TO 8 GALLONS.  THE FUEL GAUGE WILL BE AT EMPTY (AND LOW FUEL LIGHT COME ON) AT 15.5  TO 16 GALLONS OF FUEL USED.    AFTER NUMEROUS PHONE CALLS, A LOCAL FORD SALES MANAGER INDICATES THAT THE FORD FREESTYLE  HAS A 3 GALLON RESERVE IN THE TANK.  ALL CARS I'VE OWNED HAVE A 0.5 TO 1 GALLON FUEL RESERVE  BUT NEVER ANYTHING AS LARGE AS 3 GALLONS.  THE OWNERS MANUAL ADDRESSES THIS ISSUE  ON PAGE 260 AS FOLLOWS:           \"THE ADVERTISED CAPACITY IS THE AMOUNT OF THE INDICATED CAPACITY AND THE EMPTY          RESERVE COMBINED.  INDICATED CAPACITY IS THE DIFFERENCE IN THE AMOUNT OF FUEL IN          A FULL TANK AND A TANK WHEN THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATES EMPTY.  EMPTY RESERVE IS THE SMALL          AMOUNT OF FUEL REMAINING IN THE FUEL TANK AFTER THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATES EMPTY\"    IS 3 GALLONS A SMALL AMOUNT OF FUEL?  THIS AMOUNT OF FUEL PROVIDES ALMOST 60-72   MILES OF ADDITIONAL DRIVING RANGE BASED UPON THE PROJECTED FUEL CONSUMPTION.  3  GALLONS IS ALMOST 16% OF THE TOTAL FUEL CAPACITY!!!    THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT THIS MUST BE CONSIDERED FALSE ADVERTISING AT A MINIMUM.  NUMEROUS  WEBSITES (EDMUNDS.COM, ETC.) WILL PUBLISH DRIVING RANGE OF THIS CAR BASED UPON A 19 GALLON  FUEL TANK.  BASED UPON THE FUEL GAUGE, COMPUTER AND LOW FUEL INDICATORS, THE DRIVING RANGE  WOULD BE REDUCED BY ~16%.    WE BELIEVE THIS IS A DESIGN DEFECT.  DEALERS ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEIR IS NO TECHNICAL  PROBLEM.  WE HOPE THAT YOU CAN MAKE FORD MOTOR COMPANY AWARE OF THIS  CONDITION AND INDICATE THAT A THEY SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM VIA A TECHNICAL  SERVICE BULLETIN.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2005","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"FREESTYLE","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]}]}
