Problem with a Sable
Just got a message from my wife about her getting poor milage with her car. It's a 2001 Mercury Sable, auto, 24v V6, with 35k. She is getting 200 to 250 miles per tank(16gal). I try to keep the tires at 40+psi, and it has a drop in K&N air filter, but no other mods. It sounds like this has been going on for awhile.
So, a few things come to mind:
a) The K&N oil might have fouled up the MAF or something else.
b) The old motor oil has thickened. Just did the annual change last weekend, it only runs up 6k to 7k a year. If the problem, hopefully it will clear up.
c) Most likely, my wife's daily in town driving of around 5 miles just sucks the gas down.
Anything else I should check for when I get a look at the car this weekend?
