Replying to: newfordman (Oct 15, 2008 8:38 pm) My long gone and forgotten 2005 v6 got around 16 to 17 highway and suburban combined, it was a fine vehicle though.   My not so long gone 2007 Sante Fe with the 2.7 got slightly less, same driving conditions.   My current 2008 CRV gets around 24 with similar driving. However it accelerates as well as both of them, all had and have auto trans.   However nothing beat getting bad mileage like the Jeep liberty that I use to have.
#80 of 81 Re: 4 cyl AWD significantly better than 6 cyl AWD? [hipnetic] by sven5 Nov 26, 2008 (8:09 pm)
Replying to: hipnetic (Sep 15, 2008 3:29 pm) We had a '05 Escape 4 cyl. manual AWD for about 50k miles. I was very satisfied with the power and especially mpg. I rarely got below 27 mpg with usually mostly road miles and with an interstate highway tank of gas at 68 mpg got 28-29 mpg. We didn't have any problems in the 50k miles, but the clutch was a little touchy and every so often it would stall at starting. I enjoyed driving the car and it clearly was useful as a utility vehicle and handled snow well with its AWD.
#81 of 81 bad bad mileage by twoplankr22 Dec 23, 2008 (7:45 am)
a few people seem to be in my boat, but not many. 05 xlt, 34000 miles. new air filter, new and properly inflated tires, oil changed every 3-4k. I have been driving the thing like an old lady and am averaging 14mpg city dry streets. with the 2 tons of snow this week the 4x4 has been on alot, and now averaging 9 mpg. these numbers seem insanely low to me. any ideas?
