The mileage that your car gets depends much more on the driver than anything else. My 1997 Ford Escort Station Wagon gets 38 miles per gallon with 4 passengers on high speed long trips. It gets slightly short of 30 in city driving. If you drive with one foot on the brake and one foot on the accelerator in an automatic transmission, you mileage will rot no matter what.

We value your feedback, so please let us know if you have any questions or problems.
We are working on adding threading to the forums. Clicking on the headline of a post will now get you related posts in a few different ways.
- If the post was sent to us in response to an article, clicking on that post's headline will retrieve all comments on that article, and clicking on the "See related article" link will send you to the article itself.
- If the comment was submitted in response to a cybersurvey, clicking on the headline will take you to the cybersurvey and its related comments.
- If you click on the headline of a forum post that was simply posted in the forum, you will get all posts with that same headline.
If you want to add a comment to a thread in the forum, use the same headline as the post to which you want to respond.
If you find a problem, please tell us, and thanks in advance for your patience as we work to improve the forums for you.
