Escape/Tribute Owners, please post your actual MPG! Please be sure to include whether it is manual/automatic, 4cyl/6cyl, and AWD.   "Real World" Fuel Economy vs. EPA Estimates Replies to this message: rcinmd (May 31, 2005 10:31 am) j30 (May 31, 2005 2:45 pm) homermedic (Aug 12, 2006 8:13 am)

#4 of 81 Mercury Mariner V-6 AWD Auto by hermann May 31, 2005 (5:34 pm)
My girlfriend new Mariner as described above is averaging 20 MPG. Hoping for 22-23 MPG after 10K or so.
#5 of 81 '01 Escape V6 FWD XLT by escapenut Jun 01, 2005 (9:12 am)
2001 Escape V6 FWD XLT; 70K miles, real world mileage figures are at present :   16-17 City 20-Hwy   Don't know if I'll ever be able to get any better but I'm still trying. From all forums/ posts, mileage seems to be better with the '05 Escapes/Tribs./Mariners or at least a couple of mpg better than '01-'04 models. I think maybe it's d/t electronic throttle linkage and some re-tuning of the 3.0 V6. My friend with an '05 Tribute seems to have better throttle response and pick-up in his too as well as about 2-3 mpg better mileage.
#7 of 81 '04 limited v6 by explorerx4 Jun 13, 2005 (4:43 pm)
17 to 22 mpg. longest trip 125 miles one way. most trips between 5-15 miles.
#9 of 81 2005 Tribute, V6, auto, 2wd -- 20.5 to 22.7 by henry_n Jun 27, 2005 (3:48 pm)
New 2005 Tribute, V6, automatic, 2wd. Three tanks so far, best at 22.7, lowest at 20.5, mostly highway driving (with a heavy foot).
#10 of 81 2005 Mazda 2.3L 4Cyl Auto, AWD by mikezak Jul 06, 2005 (7:08 pm)
Believe it or not, I got 24.9 MPG on a highway trip,...and I only have 1084 miles on the vehicle. I will soon be changing to Mobil 1 and as it breaks in, I expect maybe 25-26 MPG on Highway.
