Ed B. pleasedodgevan April 30, 2008, 3:32am 13. Your gas mileage will improve to about what is right in about 3,000 miles. The whole car is tightly wound when new and will break in. The car won’t get “minimum” gas mileage right out of the box but it won’t get its best right away. B.L.E April 30, 2008, 11:48am 14.
Astro’s and Safari"s were rated at 3,500 lbs. probably doesn’t fit your mileage condition. Jeremy_R_Hoyt July 3, 2008, 3:43am 5. Both the Toyota Sienna and the Honda Odyssey have 3,800 pounds of towing capacity. We are shopping for a small suv or minivan that can haul passengers comfortably and also tow a trailer with a couple of 750 lb ...
Although the engine is technically “broken-in” fairly quickly, we both found that our gas mileage took a nice bump upward after about 10k miles. Now that I have about 14k miles on the odometer, I find that my average gas mileage is about 1.5 mpg better than it was originally. Not spectacular, but definitely measurable.
2018 Chevy Equinox Diesel. 32 MPG combined, 39 highway. Slowest in its class (0-60 MPH is 10.2 seconds) due to the diesel engine, but it seems to check off the boxes you want checked. 7" ground clearance stock. Pretty much the rest of the known world that wants to do what you are describing goes with a Subaru.
Last fall I traded cars. When I purchased the car the mileage around town showed 22.5 but as I drove it it steadily went down until it was from 17 to 19 Miles per gallon around town and out on the road I couldn’t seem to do better than 26 or 27 although my car was rated to get 28 on the highway. I want to mention that I bought all my gas at Costco. I was becoming very concerned that my car ...
Hello, I’ve got a question about the best vehicle to purchase that can handle winter weather and get good gas mileage. I will soon be moving to Colorado from Texas, and my job there will include 4 days a week of driving about 200 miles per day. Fuel economy is particularly important with that much driving, and before this move, I had always said that my next car was going to be a hybrid such ...
25 mpg and 4WD puts you into Rav4, CRV, or another brand of small SUV. And these vehicles just barely get 25 mpg. You could get a small, mid size, and even a Toyota Camry with FWD that would all get much better than 25 mpg on the highway. A FWD sedan with winter tires could be a more comfortable and economic commuter vehicle.
Keeping the vac gauge between 20 and 10 inches provides great economy. So when you are on a hill you may need to shift down early and limit your climbing speed for better economy. B.L.E February 3, 2008, 3:56am 12. That’s why a lot of gas mileage records were set by using a “pulse and glide” driving style.
Back in central Texas, around 700 ft above sea level, the gas mileage drops back down to 22-24 mpg. The thinner air takes less horsepower to push out of the vehicle’s way and in addition, also effectively reduces the engines displacement, causing it to operate with the throttle more open for lower pumping losses.
If you have measured a before and after accurately, and allowing for the colder weather, and you are absolutely sure your mileage has gone down, then you can look at the oil in the sump. Generally, a heavy oil, such as a 10W40 oil will show slightly lower gas mileage than a light synthetic oil, such as a 0W30 or 0W20.
