It looks like GAS Prices are holding steady...currently getting 17mpg with summer blend gas with mostly city driving with a seldom heavy pedal due to speed cameras. Z http://media.gasbuddy.com/content/docs/2016forecast.pdf

Do you know if there was any change in formulations. Compared to last year, Z? Costco (top tier) in our area went up from around 1.80 to 2.30 to 2.03 currently.

Lincoln has had the MyLincoln App for a while that offers those functions, but it appears the fun ones (controlling the vehicle stuff) only works on select '15+ Lincolns. Nothing listed for MKS at all. What I can tell about the Ford one, it only gives the fun functions to '17 Fusion and Escape owners.

I think it comes down to the vehicle has to have a built in modem in order to communicate with the phone for fun stuff.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, because I'd love to have my phone unlock door, start car, etc. What I don't need is an app that tells me where gas stations and dealerships are located.

Thank you for the laugh!

Does your '15 have Sync3? Since Sync3 is capable of updating via wi-fi, maybe there's a way to make it work. The Lincoln Site tells me to "ask a Concierge about activating my modem." Since I have the My Touch version, I know I don't have that option.
