I have scanned it, but no problems exist. She keeps regular oil changes, and has new tires. I have replaced the air filter and changed plugs. What else can I do to help this car? Thank you Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Oct 7, 2008, 6:01 AM Post #2 of 3 (2654 views) Re: 1999 Taurus 3.0 V6- Increase gas mileage Sign In Seems like it's right up there with the way it is. Same suggestions for anyone - Keep tires up to proper pressure, eliminate unnecessary weight (junk kept in trunk etc.) and drive gently. I'll suggest that synthetic oils can add a nudge of help but hard to notice. The way it's driven makes a lot of difference. There's measureable improvement with driving slower on highways - skip the usual 70-80 I see all the time and keep it down to limits, T Guest Anonymous Poster snoe2006@yahoo.com Oct 7, 2008, 6:31 AM Post #3 of 3 (2648 views) Re: 1999 Taurus 3.0 V6- Increase gas mileage Sign In Thanks for the info-she loaned us this car because a week ago my son totaled out our car. So I have treated it gently, but noticed it was eating fuel anyway. I will try the synthetic oil Thanks again   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
