I wonder if the mileage is bad because of the salvage title? They're not exceptionally frugal cars, but I get about 23/30 on mine with the base 3.0L 12V.

We have the 24 valve and all of our driving is city. It's around 17 mpg. At 35 it runs at 2000 rpms, at 38 it finally drops to 1300. I think gearing is a big part of the problem. I wish it was a 5 speed.
