If you drive on the interstate system lots you can save about 20% if you drive 55 instead of 80.Also make sure you don't carry any excess weight in the vehicle that's not needed for every 50 lbs of extra weight you loose 1mpg.You can also buy a vacuum operated mileage indicator that you mount near the dash with a hose that tee's into your vacuum system.

a 2001 escape should be getting 25-28 mpg highway.What method are you using to determine gas milage.If you are actually getting this .Get it checked out a the Dealer .Mass air could be dirty causing rich conditions.Also a tune up probably won,t hurt

The gas intake of a automobile should be a similar on a automobile of any mileage see you later because the motorcar is nicely serviced. in spite of the undeniable fact that on a clean automobile you want to run it in for one thousand miles earlier its able to grant height performance

high voltage coil. perhaps 60.000 volts if one is available, 8.8mm spark plug wires, a air hog air filter. Headers, dual exhaust, cold air intake box, Better fuel, taller tires, driving habits, having someone go into your onboard computer and tweak it.
