Is this a joke JT?

I don't know if it is the color or what, but i don't think it is in that great of condtion. Especially with that big gash along the side.

As for driving diestance, i drove about 1,000mi one way to pick up my '97 Aero with 55k mi, no rust, and very clean (until the drive home).

I am averaging around 19 mpg for mix city/highway driving, which is not too bad for AWD. One of these days I am going to decarbon it and replace the fuel filter, see if that helps the millage some.

what really helped my gas mileage was Chevron Techron Concentrate, use a 20oz bottle every 5k miles now. These 4L's are really sensitive to air/fuel mixture at the injector into the combustion chamber. oversquare bore/stroke and not a high rpm engine so injector spray pattern must be optimum for best performance-gas mileage.
the wife's Honda doesn't start producing horses until it hits 5k rpm and the bore/stroke is about square. those dual overhead cams and Honda design plenum runners/injectors are efficient, they have years of experience.

my 4L Aero is ready to cough up a rod at 4000 rpm.

93nighthawk:

You might want to look again. The bumpers doesn't have a crack in them. The headliner no tears, same with the seats. The carpets are clean, around the windows on the inside it's not warped because water was leaking in........ About the scrape on the side, that just gives it character.


Now what was the one about a 97 Aerostar with supposingly only 55k miles.........
