Well I bought a 2002 Accent with the twin cam engine for city driving
you're saying 40 mpg in an Accent right?
When driving the 200 miles from the mnts. to the beachs of VA @ 65-70 mph i can get 29-30 mpg in my 331 stroked Stang coupe. I guess what I'm trying to say is that 40mpg from a 4 cyl. isn't really impressive. You paid too much for too little. Get a hybrid next time, the tax incentive alone will pay for the added cost.

sorry, I overlooked that it was city mileage. that makes a difference! At the same time still, my girl got a Hybrid Escape which was a $3500 option and got a $2000 tax incentive (which I didn't know was going away) and gets 35+ mpg city in a 5000 lb. 4x4 SUV!
For the stang Mileage, If I am actually driving with sense and being goodI get 30 MPG hwy yes, with a 331. Granted all I have to do is punch it a few times and I'm down to 23-25 mpg. Keep in mind I'm cruising @ 1750 rpms @ 70 mph with the throttle 1/2" down, slightly slower and I'm chirping tires! Around town (in Hampton Roads is 70% hwy) I get 18-21 mpg, which is better than I would expect myself.
Congrats on the Accent, I'm sure the ladies love it.
Are you sure it is an Escape, Ford lists the curb weight at 3547 Lbs Loaded, thats a far cry from 5000 Lbs? Ford was holding classes for owners of Escape Hybrids because of Serious Complaints of Owners not even getting 30 MPG in hopes to up their MPGs, she is doing damn good at 35+! MotorWeek just finished testing an Escape Hybrid and the best MPGs they got out of a tank during the year they had it was 32.
way to keep it american guys.... geeze...
