As the driver of a Ford Escape, You may have begun to notice a slow loss of fuel efficiency since You first purchased Your vehicle. There are a couple of things that could cause this to occur. First, and most likely, could be a clogged up fuel pump. If the fuel pump is no longer running correctly due to clogging, You will see a loss in gas mileage. Over time, You could end up with vibrating of the engine compartment, shuddering, stalling of the engine, and difficult, rough idling. A new fuel pump can cost between $130 and $473.

One possible reason your ford escape is getting bad gas mileage is because you could have a clogged fuel filter. Over time the filter can become clogged, and will need to be replaced.

BAD fuel filer; d***y IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE and THROTTLE BODY! Here is h where the FINAL AIR/FUEL mixture is djusted by signals from the O2 sensor: OIL CHOICES! VALVOLINE is a TERRIBLE OIL in every sense! IT's VAPORS eat RUBBER PARTS, seals and gaskets! And leave WAX and ASH s dept its cause it is REFINED from WAX and TAR!; Install a set of IRIDIUM LASER earplugs from DENSO! Denso TWIN TIP iridium plugs have PROVEN to be about the BEST plug out there! I put them in a DODGE HEME truck and mileage went from 14 on highway to 19.5 with a CLEAN T bound and IAC valve! BIG DIFFERENCE!; CLOGGED UP CATALYTIC CONVERTER! This is an EASY FIX really! There is a product called CATA-CLEAN! Also just using AMSOIL POWER FOAM in the INTAKE wile clean up the O@ and the CONVERTER with EASE11 Run POWER FOAM through the PCV vavle and watch the CLOUDS of c**p coemout the tailpie as it remvoes YEARS and YEARS of TAR, WAX, SOOT and hard COKE frmoteh piston riengs and tops! There si NOTHING like it ANYWHERE on EARTH!

Take your foot off the brake pedal while driving, the brake lights consume massive amounts of energy
