 gas mileage 2004 Freestar
Hi,
I own an 04' freestar with 4.2L engine and have been getting very bad gas mileage for around town. A trip to Florida was 22 and 18 on highway. Around town I experimented between fill ups and drove very slowly from stops and slowed down well before I had to come to a stop and the mileage came to 12.3. Normal mixed driving results range from 10 to 11 mpg taken by actual gas usage and not the computer est. which displays much worse. This is after the vechicle has been broken in with about 13K on it.
My full size dodge conversion van with a 318 ci engine gets 13 with fairly aggressive stops and starts around town.
I took it to the dealer and was told if the engine light isn't on there is nothing wrong and there is nothing they can do.
Does everyone have similar gas mileage?
