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!
