Hello to all, and thanks for allowing me in.
I joined in hope of finding some answers for my daughter. She is the new owner of a 2007 Outlook.
She had mentioned to me before, that she was not getting much in the way of fuel economy, and thought she was around 13 - 14 mpg. I had her calculate her mileage on a trip from Upland, CA to Phoenix, AZ this past weekend.
The results are pretty shocking:
All freeway, little traffic, 70 - 75 mph on cruise control.......15.5 mpg ???
I get better than that, in-town, in my '03 Powerstroke.
Anyway, I've read lots of posts, and I've got some ideas of where to start. But my guess is, it's going back to the dealer for some diagnostics and a possible reflash. Tire pressure looks good, but she may have to run closer to the max pressure.
In the '07 AWD, is the Traction Control always on, unless the driver turns it off? I don't see a button or switch, so maybe this car doesn't have TC.
Oh well, I'll hope for some improvement. At current gas prices, 15.5 is not good enough.
