| 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!!) | |
Just finished 1200 mile trip-freeway-70-80 mph: 20.8 mpg. The vehicle has 2000 miles on it.

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 |

| 4500 miles on the truck and I get 14 city / 16.5 highway. Deduct 1 mpg from each of those figures when the automatic 4WD Hi (TOD) is engaged. Seems like a lot of people are complaining about their mileage on here, but I honestly don't know what they expected. Let's see...take a heavy, elevated station wagon with the aerodynamics of a brick wall and drive all four wheels, get lousy mileage...what a surprise!!! I came from years of driving 4cyl 2wd trucks and this is about what I expected. Love my Trooper! | |
