Re: MPG Sucks!
2006 Limited G Automatic non-turbo:
Just got back from a 2000 mile round trip mostly interstate and with an average speed of 73mph got 26+ mpg. Usual in town mpg is 18-20.5 using regular gas, and about 2 mpg lower in the winter. I did notice a small improvement in mileage after I hit 25K on the odometer in the PT.
After the first few weeks of ownership I learned to never use E10 blended gas in this beast. It really kills the gas mileage - knocks 2-3mpg off. Totally not worth the dime savings per gallon. Last year I was on vacation and ended up in an area where they only had E10 gas (other pumps were dry) and sure enough, lousy mileage until I burned that tankload off.
