I find myself filling up at the gas station alot and I know Jeeps don't get the best MPG but I'm getting around 12-13 MPG. I have a 20 gallon tank and an automatic transmission. What procedures can I do to improve my MPG and perhaps get 18-20 MPG city? Also what is the normal RPM's while driving on a highway?

So i started checking out what was wrong, i shut it off and hit the brake pedal and it was hard, but when i start it it goes to the floor. Now today the pedal is even soft when it off. Anyone have any ideas? ]]> http://ao1cars.com/my-truck-has-no-brake-pressure/feed/ 6 Is there any logical reason someone MUST buy a new car? http://ao1cars.com/is-there-any-logical-reason-someone-must-buy-a-new-car/ http://ao1cars.com/is-there-any-logical-reason-someone-must-buy-a-new-car/#comments Wed, 08 Feb 2012 00:48:04 +0000 admin http://ao1cars.com/is-there-any-logical-reason-someone-must-buy-a-new-car/ My fiance and I got into an argument because he told me he had no choice but to buy a new car with an 18% interest rate because his credit was so bad. He bought a brand new dodge charger in 2009 when his lease was up on his '05 charger (who leases a car anyway?) Now my rationality tells me that if you have bad credit, you buy a used car or at least find a financial provider (other than the one the car company recommends) that's not gonna charge you a ridiculous amount of interest. Is there any reason why he would not be able to buy a used car but would be perfectly ok to buy a brand new one? ]]> http://ao1cars.com/is-there-any-logical-reason-someone-must-buy-a-new-car/feed/ 6 Which model is this of BMW ? http://ao1cars.com/which-model-is-this-of-bmw/ http://ao1cars.com/which-model-is-this-of-bmw/#comments Tue, 07 Feb 2012 11:48:04 +0000 admin http://ao1cars.com/which-model-is-this-of-bmw/ check this pic and say the model name and year please

Didn't start Car for 5 days.? http://ao1cars.com/cold-weather-didnt-start-car-for-5-days/ http://ao1cars.com/cold-weather-didnt-start-car-for-5-days/#comments Mon, 06 Feb 2012 22:48:03 +0000 admin http://ao1cars.com/cold-weather-didnt-start-car-for-5-days/ Ok, I hope I didn't make a big booboo with my car.

I have a 1998 Ford Escort, 120,000 miles. I have a new battery, new spark plugs including the spark cords.

Here's my problem in steps so you can help me understand at least where the problem could be coming from. I don't expect anyone to be a wizard.

1. It's freezing cold here in Colorado, and my car hasn't been started for 5 days because I haven't needed to go anywhere.

2. I decide to start my car for once, and sure enough it starts up the first turn. Not a single struggle.

3. I only let my car warm up until the windows were defrosted. About 8-12 minutes. The car was still relatively cold.

4. I then took off. As I'm driving, my wife and I could feel very very small bumping and thought maybe it's ice stuck to the tires, so we kept driving up till about 4 blocks down the road.

5. As we're driving and hit the 4th block, the car goes out on us. Remember, it's freezing cold.

6. Now my car won't start again.

7. I tried jumping it to no avail. It doesn't start.

8. I tried putting gas in to no avail. It doesn't start

9. The starter seems to work perfect, it's turning hard and good (or trying).

10. The battery is new and it's a beast and it lights up the whole car without letup.

11. The spark plugs and spark plug cords are also new.

12. So, I tried pumping the gas as I turn the starter, then I pump a bit more and hold the gas pedal down to see if it needs to be flushed, but still all It does is "try" to start. It makes the regular sound any car makes when the starter is igniting.

So, now what? What could be wrong? Could bad oil, or not enough oil be causing it? Maybe the alternator? But that doesn't make sense because the batter had no problem whatsoever lighting my car up, radio and all including speakers and lights at max capacity.

My dread and fear is the engine….

I need support and comfort lol
I will try it again tomorrow and hopefully it has mercy on me. ]]> http://ao1cars.com/cold-weather-didnt-start-car-for-5-days/feed/ 6 Will a dealer trade in my 2011 Chevy Traverse LTZ? http://ao1cars.com/will-a-dealer-trade-in-my-2011-chevy-traverse-ltz/ http://ao1cars.com/will-a-dealer-trade-in-my-2011-chevy-traverse-ltz/#comments Mon, 06 Feb 2012 10:00:08 +0000 admin http://ao1cars.com/will-a-dealer-trade-in-my-2011-chevy-traverse-ltz/ its awd, navigation, back up camera, 20in rims, dvd player, etc.

does it sound like the battery is not holding it's charge?
the lights and everything work fine regardless.
any ideas would be gratefully received! ]]> http://ao1cars.com/my-2003-ford-mondeo-wont-start-is-the-battery-gone/feed/ 6 HELP PLEASEE clicking sound, why wont my car start? http://ao1cars.com/help-pleasee-clicking-sound-why-wont-my-car-start/ http://ao1cars.com/help-pleasee-clicking-sound-why-wont-my-car-start/#comments Sun, 05 Feb 2012 08:16:05 +0000 admin http://ao1cars.com/help-pleasee-clicking-sound-why-wont-my-car-start/ i have a 1998 ford fiesta that i haven't turned on for a year and a half. ive charged the battery and when i turn the ignition there's a fast clicking sound and the dashboard lights flicker. ive checked the battery with a multi meter and its giving out 11.8v and the battery is 12v so its clearly not that (unless the car needs a battery with a higher voltage) what do you suggest it could be? and how could i test this? preferably in simple terms please, thanks. ]]> http://ao1cars.com/help-pleasee-clicking-sound-why-wont-my-car-start/feed/ 6
