Replying to: browney (May 25, 2007 1:24 pm) I just got back from a 800 mile round trip that was 90% highway driving between 65-75mph. I got 26mpg for the trip. The car now has just over 3kmi on it.

On websites talking about New York replacing their taxis with greener ones, they say their Crown Victorias/Grand Marquis were getting 10 mpg. How could this be so low?

| I read conflicting information online about the Grand Marquis' gas mileage. Some claim better than Mercury's website says and others give it worse. Guess I'll have to wait and see. | |

I monitor several webpages on behalf of Ford and I hope you don't mind my posting here. Echoing other comments taxis in general and NYC taxis in particular are subject to extreme driving conditions including excessive idling time, stop & go driving and 20 hours of daily air conditioning in the summer. Even with good maintenance, the mpg will be lower than what the average consumer can get in their Crown Victoria or Grand Marquis. With that said most reports state CV taxis achieve 12-14 mpg. Sites like Edmunds.com are good sources for getting mpg numbers from a variety of owners and driving situations. Just remember you're most likely to see only the highest/best or lowest/worst mpg posted or reported online. As they say, your mileage will vary. We appreciate your purchase.

Replying to: fomocona (Dec 19, 2007 10:50 am) That Ford continues to install Crown Victoria engines in Town Cars is not providing a Town Car level engine for the TC. The price of the Town Car screams for a more powerful and distinctive engine. At least provide a "Power Option" engine of 5.4 L enabling the TC to not be plagued with the same engine as the CV. The Power Option should be a $250 extra cost item. The 239 hp 4.6L is just too enemic when traversing the Rockies and Cascade ranges both here and in Canada.  Your Panthers have been since 1998. When will we be given the option of a NEW car with NEW styling that still seats Six?  Presently, your 2008 TC drives me towards the Jaguar XJ8L and we've owned three TC's since 1980.

| Ford should advertise the Grand Marquis. I have never seen an ad, either tv or print, for this car. As one who is buying a new 2008 and has it on order, I think Ford might sell more if they'd advertise them. I'm not an old person (48), read Consumer Reports and other publications, read websites, go to the car show and investigate all the cars, and despite all the negative things I read about the Grand Marquis about it being dated, etc., I'm buying one, because I feel this car is much more comfortable and roomy than any other for the price and I love traditional large American sedans. If I feel this way, then others must too. | |
