I'm extremely disappointed by the economy my CVT Max is returning. I'm averaging 15-16 mpg in the city and 24.8 is the best I've gotten on the highway. Has anyone else had similar numbers from their '03-'07 Max?

Wow, that IS bad! My sister has an 04 auto and she gets like 22 city, 27 highway. You might have a bad cat or a rich a/f ratio. I haven't heard much about the new cvt's so I can't tell you whether or not that's the culprit, but all I know is that everyone was talking about how efficient those cvt's were...I guess we'll see!

Wow, that is not good. Take it to the dealer.
