Default Re: Considering Escape - Questions

I've been over my FEH problems in other threads here. I bought it in November and got about 17 mpg for the first 2000 miles, 20 mpg for the next 1000, and I've been stuck on 23 for the last 2000+ miles.

I don't live in a cold area, drive agressively, etc., etc., etc. And like I said, I've tried every trick in the book on this site (and others) to get the most from the FEH. Nothing seems to work.

In looking at the real mileage charts on this site (which I don't input on), there are several FEHs that get below 25 mpg, and I know of several other owners who aren't getting the advertised mileage.

So all I'm saying is, if you want to buy this car solely for the improved gas mileage, there's a chance you could end up quite disappointed. I'm not saying don't buy one, I just want people to be aware that there are possible downsides.
