In our '02 with the 3.8 were are getting 18 around town and 20-21 on the highway with it loaded down. But that was only after the intake insulator bolts were replaced. Prior to that is was like 16 around town and 18 highway.

Even after the isolator bolt repair I still only get about 20mpg in my '01. Luckily I only drive it around 6-8,000 miles a year.

On my 2001 i am getting 15-17 in the city and have had as high as 27 mph on the Hwy. But so far average hwy miles is 24-26. I did notice after my spark plug change my fuel mpg went down for a bit. Now starting to level off. I do run mobil 1 synthetic 5w-30. I know 5w-20 is recommended.. Sorry just to thin for me. If they get it any thinner we might be able to run some type of lubricated water in the future.. LOL

and make sure your tires have air at factorys lbs and not go with what your tires call for in them....

I have a 2000 Windstar that I generally got about 20 MPG on highway and 17-19 MPG mixed driving. I recently swapped in a 2003 engine and rebuilt the transmission and I'm getting around 21-22 MPG mixed but mostly WV highway. I haven't really been on a trip with it yet but we're doing a 400 miles this week for vacation. I'll keep an eye on it and report back.
