How many miles do you have on it? My 2001 manual states that until the engine is broken in (~3000 miles) you may get poorer gas mileage than specified. And of course, your milage depends tremendously on the weather, traffic, load, and your driving style. (The manual also shows how at very low temperatures mileage can be cut in HALF!) On our first trip (almost all highway) we only got 22.8 MPG. RonM wrote: > > I've had my 9-5 wagon for a few months now and I am getting terrible gas > mileage around town.
