Welll..... to be fair to the car...
it needs both front ball joints replaced
a front end alignment
an oil change
a 60,000 mile tune-up
and a good wash.
buuuuuuut even after that I don't image it to jump up to 30mpg like some other Taurus owners are getting without even trying....
And I try to drive as efficient as I can, but around here it's just not plausible to do pulse and glide or EOC... there is way too much traffic and street lights. Today I got onto the freeway and it was at a dead stop. even the on ramps were backed up. So I know traffic is a huge contributor but I do try to take the least congested route as often as I can.
