I just purchased my 08 Escape and find it has very bad gas mileage. I filled it up last Thursday and needed to fill again yesterday with roughly 450 kms (279 miles)used. I do realize the type of driving does make a difference but I am not hard on it and do live out of the city. I'm pretty much door to door 50 kms(31 miles)to work both ways 100 kms (62 miles) total for a day. Is this normal for this year??
