#1796 of 1837 Re: 93 Mercury Villager 360,000 miles [oves] by carzzz Aug 19, 2008 (5:29 pm)
Replying to: oves (Jul 03, 2008 10:51 am) I recently take a extended highway trip on my 97 Villager V6 151hp (100,000 miles with synthetic oil). I got 27 mpg at 60mph on the way and my return trip was 35 mpg 70-75mph. The reason i got 35 mpg because i followed the 18 wheelers within 40 fts till i got off the highway. It is not recommended because it causes MANY paint chips Replies to this message: ateixeira (Aug 27, 2008 9:42 am)

Replying to: carzzz (Aug 19, 2008 5:29 pm) That's what drafting will do for aerodynamic drag. Bummer about the chips.
#1798 of 1837 Have 2005 T & C Touring Van by krl2 Oct 02, 2008 (2:58 am)
Gas mileage around town 16-18 mpg. Highway 24-26 mpg. Towing 2700 lb.trailer on highway also 24-26 mpg. Very happy about this. Van has 49,000 miles on it.
#1799 of 1837 25.1mpg by ateixeira Oct 02, 2008 (10:23 am)
Very mixed driving. It included one trip, but then lots of city driving too. Replies to this message: hansienna (Nov 11, 2008 8:35 pm) ateixeira (Nov 18, 2008 1:53 pm) hansienna (Nov 27, 2008 7:28 am)
#1800 of 1837 SEDONA MILEAGE by moore02 Oct 30, 2008 (4:48 pm)
My 2005 Sedona van does pretty well on the highway (about 26mpg) but around town is awful (usually about 15-16 but sometimes as low as 13) I know of others taht do the same..

#1802 of 1837 DC to CT and back by ateixeira Nov 05, 2008 (1:39 pm)
Got 26.5 going up to CT, with mixed in town driving while I was there.   Got an even better 27+ coming back, though that was all highway.   Average speed were probably 65-75, and keeping those down helps a lot.

Replying to: ateixeira (Oct 02, 2008 10:23 am) 2006 Sienna easily gets 28 to 29 MPG on long round trips. Winter driving KILLS gas mileage. Overall average for 25,705 miles is now 23.4 MPG. Replies to this message: ateixeira (Nov 18, 2008 1:53 pm) hansienna (Nov 27, 2008 7:28 am)

Replying to: hansienna (Nov 11, 2008 8:35 pm) At what speeds?   I can break 30 if I stay under 55mph. Not easy around here, people tailgate you. Replies to this message: hansienna (Nov 27, 2008 7:28 am)
#1805 of 1837 Re: Good road trip gas mileage [ateixeira] by hansienna Nov 27, 2008 (7:28 am)
Replying to: ateixeira (Nov 18, 2008 1:53 pm) Speed Limit on I-15 in Utah, Nevada, and California is 75 MPH in most of Utah, and 70 MPH on I-15 in Nevada and California (except for construction areas). Interstate 15 in Arizona in the Virgin River Gorge in Northwest Arizona is 55 MPH.   We set the Sienna Cruise between 72 and 77 MPH on these trips except for 55 MPH through the Virgin River Gorge.   People still tailgate when I drive at or above the speed limits in all 4 states but I am always in the right lane except when passing trucks on the long uphill stretches.
