Subject: Low 9-5 Gas Mileage


I have a 2002 9-5 Wagon (4-cylinder, 2.3t, automatic, about 5,000 miles) that gets about 19mpg in town (mostly short trips), but on the highway gets upper 20's. On long trips, I have even seen 28+mpg. This behavior seems odd to me; I was expecting to see low 20's in town. Why is there such a huge discrepancy between city and highway? I frequently reset the trip computer in order to get a more accurate calculation. I never drive in Sport mode, and was wondering if that made a difference. (Would I get better mileage in Sport mode?) I did see a graph in the owner's manual that showed increased fuel consumption at low temperatures, but being in the mid-south, I did not think that was much of an issue. Any ideas? Thanks. Vince
