Hi, I'de like to say This is a very cool site. I look forward to the info here. Does anyone have the same car as I do? I drive a 2002 ford escort zx2 with a 5 speed manual.

Welcome to the board Midwestzx2 :)

CO ZX2 has a 1999 ZX2 and done some impressive things with it.

Welcome
 

Welcome to GS.

By the looks of it, the ZX2 has quite the potential for some good fuel economy numbers. Feel free to browse around and especially take a look at the Busted and Confirmed Mods area if you like to tinker.

Also, driving style can really affect your bottom line. If you have a chance, a feedback device like a ScanGauge can show you instantly what MPG your getting under a variety of conditions.

Let us know if you have any questions -- good luck on your journey!

I've been plannin on gettin a scangauge, for other reasons than mpg.. but that would be a perk. I have noticed that the zx2 does get great fuel milage. I've done a few tricks to it already although performance oriented, they have helped a little with saving gas.

Welcome. You've got a nice drivetrain to work with. It will be fun seeing your MPG go up!

Welcome Midwestzx2! I bet you can't wait until all of that snow is gone up there.;) It sounds like there is a lot of potential FE in your car.

I was born and raised in the midwest (Illinois) and we often visited my grandparents in Bagley, WI. Good to see another midwesterner here.
