Is the 3.0 engine really that bad for fuel mileage? 19mpg is horrible! I have the 2.5 manual that I drive like a stolen rental and the WORST I've ever gotten is 19. My average is 24-25, and I've seen 29 on the highway. We ARE talking U.S. gallons, right?

 

I have the 3.0 manual and I average 22 mpg... I've seen myself averaging 28 on the highway on my jags in dash computer.

But anyways...
about the turbonator...

I once saw an advertisement for the turbonator... which said it gives your car better gas mileage... AND 30 horsepower...
if they are going to advertise that..
I don't even give them a headturn to even try the thing.. FOR FREE even..

 

In my 2.5L Manual, I average 20 around town and 28 on the highway. My best was 32 MPG on a trip to Ohio last year. Mixed driving the comp says 24.8 usually.

 

My computer says I'm getting about 17.8-18, mainly city with a little highway here and there. This seems about right when compared to actual calculations.
I was at the dealer the other day, and noticed the window sticker on an 05 X said the city mileage was 16 and city with in the high 20s (27?). I was surprised that it was that low. I guess the mileage on these cars really does suck.
