I guess it will be better to judge and compare after you have the service done and the spark plugs changed.A drop in mileage is natural in cold weather.
Bad Gas Mileage
Hello, I am new to the forum!
I have an '01 Escape that is creeping up on 230k miles. I love this truck and have had it for about 5 years now. I have noticed that is suddenly has horrible gas mileage. I used to get around 2xx miles a tank, now I am getting 180 miles or so a tank. It has had a tune up within the past two years. Is there a common problem with these trucks with gas mileage? I am going to be changing fuel filter, air filter, and oil this weekend for maintenance. I change oil every 3k miles on the nose. Any common sensors that go bad? I just don't want to be playing the changing-sensors-hit-or-miss game. Thanks!
