[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 764858, member: 52972"] It's all about driving habits and the volume of traffic you have to drive in. Even when driving on freeways, if you have to slow down and speed up to pass other vehicles you will burn more gas. Every time you slow down and have to speed up you loose the vehicles momentum and that eats at your gas mileage. That's why city traffic give such poor gas mileage. I got well over 22 MPG in my 2003 Sport Trac when going to the National Meet in Louisville last year by leaving at midnight when there was very little or no traffice. I was able to cruise at 75 MPH for hours without ever having to touch the brake or gas pedals until I had to stop for gas. With other vehicels around, you can't do that long enought to get your best mileage. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
