Just to be accurate -- Ford is introducing their "Powershift" Auto Trans in a year or so - it's a 6-forward-speed trans plus reverse so it's called a 7-speed. Close enough. Interesting that Ford claims this unit will improve MPG by only 6% over current AT units - where will the other 19% of projected improvement come from - solid rubber tires? If you want more facts on the PowerShift unit, check "blueoval.com" site. Jeff |

I live in San Diego and have had my Explorer for only 1.5 mo., but have driven 2000 miles and am getting 18mpg overall... haven't been on any trips with it tho... |
|
| I have a 98 Explorer XLT V8 AWD and got 18.8mpg on the 100% freeway and >14 with city and freeway. That was until the tire recall. I now bested 15.4mpg with 100% freeway and 13mpg mixed. It seems that the Bridgestone Dueler APT II's are dragging. | |

In town the LX averges 14 mpg. On the hwy, avg speed 75, 16.5 avg. X5 in town avg 17, on hwy avg spd 75, 22 mpg |

First tank of gas in new Tahoe (w 5.3 L) = 15.2 MPG. That was a mix of city and highway miles. It has Goodyear tires. |
|
| 11 MPG in imperial gallons. Not good | |
| My first checked mileage at 520.4 miles combined city/highway revealed 25.78mpg. This with V6 DOHC, 4-spd auto, 16" BF Goodrich tires, and "normal" driving which includes 65-75mph highway speeds. | |

|
| Average 15.5 per gal city/highway mixed. | |
| Average 16 mpg mixed driving. She's a bit of a drinker. (92 Oct is her fuel of choice, thanks Opec!!) | |
