ford gas milage

I'm facing the same problem with my Ford Escort '96.

My Contour is reliable. after 115,000, all I have to do is replace the catalytic convertors once, under warranty, the brakes 3 or 4 times including all 4 rotors once, and two wheel bearings. Of course, I change the oil every year, whether it needs or not (I use the new Mobil High Endurance 15,000 mi oil).
