After fixing the wheel bearing, Drove to FL and back to NC... not the best time(my father passed)
Started my trip on my 2nd tank of e85, yay power, boo mileage 14.5mpg on the way down.
Still having gas cap issues(gonna have to order the right one yellow flex fuel I think)
I thought I fixed the cap, and it tightened, but then I was having start up issues would barely idle without me pressing the pedal, I loosened the cap I have and its running fine?
After in FL, filled up with non ethanol for the trip back... 17.8mpg running about 75-80mph with 10 potty breaks(I have young-uns)
So we did pretty well. much more comfortable than driving the fusion, our fusion is AWD and slightly better gas mileage, but the comfort is much better in the yuk.
My condolences for your loss.
On a lighter note, and I know this isn't the ideal thread for diagnostics, but it sounds like your gas cap is operating (sealing) just fine. You have a clogged hose or inoperable vent somewhere. I'd check into the EVAP system.
