RE: Is something wrong? 14 MPG HWY
I get 18.5 mpg on the highway but keeping the vehicle at 2400 rpm which is about 66 to 68 mph and I have Thule Cross bars on mine. They make noise so I know I am getting a little wind resistance with them. I do get about 17.6 mpg pulling my 2200# tent trailer. It is just a matter of slowing down.Speeds of75 to 80 mph reduced my fuel milage to around 15 mpg not towing my trailer and down to less than 14 towing. Guys this is not a sports car, you have good vision out of the vehicle, enjoy the view as you are driving down the freeway. You would be surpised what you see going a little slower.

I think I'm getting about 11-12 around town in my D I. But I'm still working on the tune up stuff. I just spent $65 on bosch +4's last week, haven't had time to put them in yet...

RE: Is something wrong? 14 MPG HWY
We just took a 1600 mile trip in our 98 Disco I. We averagedjust under17 mpg.
It has new NKG plugs and 8mm wires. It needs O2 sensors. I kept the cruise
set on 70 mph most of the time.
The mpg has been going down a little around town. I figured it was time for new
O2 sensors then on the trip it threw the O2 sensor code.
