As much as you may like the status quo, when something comes along that is better in every way, it makes you wonder how long you have been missing out on something that was just so good.

howie411 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 How the hell he got 24 mpg with a 2.0L AWD is beyond me...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcthorne Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 That's what we get. I suggest you lighen up on the throttle position. If you USE the 240hp it uses 240HP worth of fuel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escapism Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I am almost at empty and I'm at 26 mpg with my 2.0 AWD. 9000 miles on her. It can be done, it just has to be a concious decision. On some tankfulls I have gotten 28 mpg. Others it was like 23.5. Just depends how I feel like driving, heavy footed or tree hugging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howie411 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I dunno, I drive my Escape just like I drove my old Ford Fusion Hybrid, there is definitely some hyper milling going on. I very rarely hit over 2 on the RPMs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbyd Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Is the 1.6 or 2.0 V-6 the better engine overall! Anybody own a 1.6? Noisier? Wow, no backup camera standard on the SEL...instead, you have to buy a $2,000 option package to get it? Ouch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
