So far, it meets our expectation for gas mileage. Our Entourage has less than 500 miles on it. Took it on a 100 mile, mostly highway trip, starting with a full tank. At our destination, I refilled, and manually calculated the mileage to be a bit over 22 mpg. That's on a new engine, so I suspect it to get better. A word on the MPG computer. It averages fuel consumption, and when new, the vehicle basically reads 0 mpg. So, you can reset it, and it should show a current average. I own a 2005 Ford Taurus, and when I picked it up, it read about 13 mpg. The computer on it is not resettable, so over the course of about a year, MPG slowly crept up to its current stable 22 mpg around town. For your own piece of mind, don't use the computer. Just calculate it manually. Start with a full tank, and a trip odometer set to zero. Then check the gallons you buy at your next fill up and divide it into the miles driven. You'll probably be happier. |

Replying to: davethecarnut (Jun 02, 2007 4:22 pm) I'm understanding the computer better now. It is actually kind of fun monitoring my changing mpg. It has prompted me to be lighter on the gas pedal. We averaged the "old fashioned way," and calculated 29 mpg on a 300 miles round trip, all highway, to LA. Thanks for your input

Replying to: yomarymo (May 31, 2007 11:59 am) I get 26 mpg on the highway. Somedays, when my wife uses the van to drop kids at bus stop (when it is raining), the engine is idling for 5-10 minutes and the bus stop is 150 feet from my house, I do get numbers like 12.7 mpg. If you hit a busy street with lots of shopping/malls on a saturday and hit a red light at each intersection, you'd probably get the same 12.7 mpg. That to me is as atypical as cruising at 80 mph with headwinds for 21-22 mpg instead of 65-70 mph for 25-26 mpg. Avoid high traffic roads, peak hour rush and excessive idling at stop lights, your city mpg will easily creep up to 19-20 mpg.
