I know you have a 3.0 in both but, is one the DOHC 24V Duratec engine (200HP) and is the other the Vulcan engine(160HP plain jane engine). That would make a difference, don't forget the 05 is a little bigger than the 97.

Re: 2005 taurus vs 1997 taurus
also, you get much worse gas mileage with your AC on, have you been driving more with the AC on than you did in your '97?
