Driving habit is still a factor.

If we're talking about parts setting in, there's always a chance that fuel economy would worsen as much as it'll improve Either way, the difference is hardlu felt.

It's indicated in the Ford Escape manual. Before having the 1st PMS, I got an average of 4-5 kms per Liter only. Now I have atleast 5-6.5 kms per liter on city driving.

oh well, thanks mga peeps sa inputs. I guess I'll just have to wait few more thousand kms. to see if my mileage improves.

isn't the 2.0l escape engine known to be gas-guzzling, underpowered and rather antiquated? Mazdas aren't known for being fuel efficient compared to Honda VTEC or Toyota VVTI. Also the horror stories about the MT transmission Escape make you think twice about owning one.

The RAV SV uses a manual transmission, got a smaller engine, smaller over-all size and lighter weight. My escape is all of the opposite..kaya mas matipid talaga ang RAV.

I've also installed K&N finer filters.

Escapes equipped with manual transmission has a clutch problem..too bad.
