"01-08" = 2001-2008 MODEL YEARS. We speak of everything in Model Years. The powertrain upgrade for model year 2009 included the 6F35 (unless you got the XLS base model, which came standard with a manual trans).

On a completely different issue, we got 32.5 MPG out of our 2010 on a 350 mile run running 65 - 70 MPH. Broken in, and finally NOT running into a strong headwind! The last a quarter or so of the trip we had the A/C on, the rest, not. Sunroof and windows were closed. Cruise control was ON for at least 90% of the trip. That's with the 4 cyl. with FWD. Have the roof rack with the crossbars on it, but nothing was carried on the roof. No unusual driving, i.e., not drafting semi's etc.
