We had an old Escort Wagon with the small motor. 1800 maybe 1600?? who knows?? That thing never got less than 30 mpg. Another 250,000 mile car. Never put anything but minor service..oil changes, tires, brakes in it. Wife traded it in on Saturn. Never saw the best side of 22 mpg. A generic 1/2 of a jelly bean. The most non descript car ever in our family.
