Wow...pretty low miles for a 7-year old Trooper. Oil consumption may be a
little high, but it may vary some with some more driving (since it sounds
like you've only got 2-3 tanks of gas thru it). Our 94 Trooper (145k
miles)
seems to use a bit of oil regularly, but probably not more than 1-2 quarts
per oil change (3k miles). Our 2002 was bought new and is now up to 32k
miles. It tends to use oil very randomly. It won't use any oil at all
for
quite some time, and the next thing you know, it's used half a quart...?
Troopers use oil...that's just the way it is. Keep a spare quart (or 2)
in
the handy holder in the back door. :-)
Average gas mileage, 13-15 around town and random driving. On a trip by
itself, 18-19 usually. I saw 20 once, but could have been a fluke. Now,
towing a travel trailer...well...9-12.
