#53 of 1070 1999 Explorer XLT V-6 SOHC by the_expediter Oct 28, 2000 (11:02 pm)
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.

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!!)
#61 of 1070 2001 Tahoe 2WD by wayne29 Nov 29, 2000 (7:09 pm)

I get about a month's riding from each can of chain lube. Hmmmmm, scratch my head... carry the one... that's 360 miles per 10 ounces, or 4608 miles per gallon? Yahoo! Do I win?? Seriously, all my commuting happens on my mtn bike. When I do use the truck it's for hard playing, and then I get about 12mpg. '96 Land Rover Discovery, 52k miles. Regards, -Bob
