Miky Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Can someone please help me figure out why my POS 2005 Ford Escape limited 4WD automatic is burning so heavy on gas. When I fill up it’s says I have almost 400km to empty... I’m lucky if I get 250-300 km a tank my mechanic can’t figure it out. Also my car sounds like a plane or a spaceship when I’m driving it.

Jim Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 There are several things to look at. Based on your description of the sound my first question is do you have a tachometer on your dash? If Yes what are the rpms reading? if the transmission is making the engine run faster than it should you will have a lot of noise like an air plane. Go for a test drive and watch you tachometer as the transmission shifts into higher gears. This is where I would start. Did your mechanic check the computer for trouble codes? This is also important to locating your problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
