    Help! 12 mpg on 04 V6 5 speed!

    I posted this before but I had transmission/torque convertor problems on my '01, and it was killing my gas mileage. I went from 17-18 down to 14! After dealer work I was back up to 17, and that's with 80-90% all stop and go driving, on a good highway trip I'll get 23.5

    god dang rattle#@!

    I had the same problem, the easiest solution - and cheapest - is to get some relatively thick double sided tape and put a about a .5 inch long piece in each top corner. I didn't have to remove anything to do this, and the tape isn't visible either. Fixed my rattle completely!

    No, mine didn't slip at all, I thought I had a fuel pump problem as I had heard that was reported with 2001's, but my pressure, etc. was fine. The only thing I noticed was the engine bogging down on somewhat-quick stops, the RPM's would drop to 400-500 before the engine would rev to kick it back...

    possible reaons for bad gas mileage

    I had a bad fuel problem, was losing some low end HP, so I took mine in for some suggestions. Turns out I had a bad torque converter, after it was replaced with some ancillary work I'm back up to getting around 18-19 in all city driving, highway is at 23-24. The two months before I had the work...
