It is hard to give you a definite answer without knowing the size of the engine, transmission type (automatic or manual and number of gears, and whether or not it has overdrive), and if it is 2 or 4 wheel drive. However, it is a truck. Trucks' aerodynamics are horrible, about twice as bad and sometimes three times as bad as a cars aerodynamics. At speeds above 35mph, aerodynamics play a very important part. The faster you go, the more important it becomes. I believe it takes around 13 horsepower (HP) for an average car to travel at 65MPH. With a truck that is twice as bad in aerodynamics as a car, it can take around 26HP and it can take quite a bit more fuel to make that 26HP. Driving techniques play just as big a part as aerodynamics. If you are interested in improving your fuel economy I would strongly suggest looking at www.ecomodder.com and www.gassavers.org

What causes 2001 ford escape to get poor gas mileage?
I have an '01 Escape and it sometimes gets poor mileage in stop and go traffic (like every other car). A way to improve this is to turn the O/D off in this type of traffic and then turn it back on when you're at highway speeds and doing a constant speed for a minute or more. Another thing that could be causing poor gas mileage is an engine issue (spark plugs, transmission fluid, etc.). Make sure you're up on your maintenence and all should be well! The '01 Escapes get a bad wrap for certain problems, but they just need some TLC from time to time!
