Replying to: claires (Jun 28, 2006 9:36 pm) I purchased in March 2007. Traded in Winstar that got 23 to 27 hywy. I only get 13.9 in town and 16 on Hywy and that's long trips. I've never filled my van up past 18 gallons and it's empty. False Advertisment!! I have 10,000 miles on my van.

It's all about driving habits, try to let the tranny shift before 2600 rpm's and no fast starts and stops and you will get the advertised mpg. Start using the power in that good 3.8 and it will use more fuel. Nothing you can do
#55 of 71 My average isn't great either by tlauro Dec 11, 2007 (8:45 am)
We purchased our 2007 with only 4,800 miles on it and has had it's first oil change already.   Average thus far in the suburbs here where we average 40-50mph with of course stoplights has been about 12-14mpg. No better. If you exercise it's powerband it will drop.   We've yet to even burn through a full tank, but the computer is showing mpgs in line with my 300+ HP V8 sedan.   To get a good real world average, my wife is driving the sedan this week and I'm going to see what her mpgs are then compare with the van. Next week we are going to switch vehicles and see how they compare again.   On the sedan I get 12-14mpg but have a heavy foot and like the V8. She usually gets 16-18mpg in the city.   Time will tell. Overall, I'm happy with the van and mpgs....they are what they are.

Replying to: claires (Jun 28, 2006 9:36 pm) We are averaging 15 mpg. We have 28,000 miles on our van and the mileage has not improved. We don't tow anything and the mileage does not change much between city and highway driving. I am very disappointed in the gas mileage. The van is really nice and it drives great but the mileage is awful.
#57 of 71 2007 Entourage - Mileage by reagen Feb 27, 2008 (6:53 pm)
Just to keep the data sharing going, we do mostly city driving with a moderate amount of stop-and-go on relatively flat land. After about 9,000 miles we consistently get 12.5 MPG in the city and can get as good as 19-20 MPG doing highway driving only. We've driven plenty of other cars, so we don't have unique driving habits causing low mileage. It's the Entourage. We absolutely love the car and wouldn't trade it for any other make; but it does have one glaring fault: absolutely terrible mileage. In reading other posts, I'm at a loss (even with slow starts) how some can get 16 MPG or better in this car. The reality for us is 12.5 city - no matter what we do.

#58 of 71 MPG by pafundi Apr 10, 2008 (1:42 am)
We get anywhere between 19 and 23 depending on the traffic. If I use E10, I get less and Regular a little more. I find cruise control helps a bit.   Not real close where they said it would be though
#59 of 71 Mileage improved after break-in period by drno Apr 11, 2008 (5:19 pm)
I have owned the van since Jan 07 and have 14k miles on it. The mileage has improved since the 10k mile mark. We started at 13 around suburbia and 23 on the highways. Now we are at 16-17 in suburbia and 24-26 on the highways. Our best was a little over 26 from Pittsburgh to Toledo. I get better mileage than my leadfooted better half; the advice given about keeping rpm down is correct. If you get on it, it will swill gasoline -- which is hardly a surprise given the power and weight of the vehicle.

Replying to: reagen (Feb 27, 2008 6:53 pm) Just a reminder: Are we getting the mileage from the trip computer or are we doing it the old fashioned way? Old way: filling up, resetting the odometer, running til empty, filling up, checking the mileage on odometer, dividing it by the amount of fuel you just put in. Trip computer: The Entourage trip computer needs to be re-set often. You can't reset it once and let it go for the week. I'm getting in the 20's for combo driving in my van
#61 of 71 getting gas mileage improvements by entourage2007 Jun 24, 2008 (11:27 am)
We were having miserable gas mileage at around 14-15 miles/gallon. My brother took it for a drive and noticed the good acceleration power it had (which is noted on almost every review of the Entourage). He said to give that kind of power it is going to suck the gas big time! He suggested I lay off large accelerations getting on the highway, passing, stop signs, traffic lights. It is harder to do than you think, because i think we're all so used to using that power. but I tried to control myself and only use it as needed and over a two week period the avg mpg went up to 20.6 mpg granted this still isn't excellent but is MUCH better that 14 mpg we were getting before! The the following 2 weeks I also kept it at 70 mph or under (I know...again...hard to do) and that brought it up further to 22.8 mpg....I'm pretty happy with that....it's nearly double what we were getting before.   About 80% of my usage is 6 lane highways and the rest is around town.
