I get between 18.5-20mpg in the city and 25mpg on the highway... if this helps any. It's a 01 Limited.
this is a 04 touring very nice ride but there is issues here the keep telling me nothing is wrong my 02 got 29 highway and about 22 city it was a 5 speed but their should not be that much difference between the 2 cars should be some but not that much.Thank you for your quick responce.
Are you saying the '04 is an auto? That's a difference. Was the '02 a base? The base has narrower tires and that is a little better for mileage. Also, how many miles on the '04? Mileage improves as overall miles climb - the engine "loosens up" and has less friction.
I have over 80,000 miles on mine, and mileage keeps inching upward - to where on 100 mile commute I get 25+, but much worse for short trips.

Best things for mileage - pump up your tires - go a few PSI over the door sticker #s - and you can drive fast, but get to the speed slowly - the jack-rabbit starts slurp gas. Those tips are from my experience.
