| But I'm sick of people complaining about how their giant 4x4 guzzles gas when it should have been obvious when they first test drove it and watched the fuel gauge go dowwwnnn right before their eyes! I'm about to take a job offer where i'll be making enough money to buy pretty much whatever I like, and mileage isnt going to be much of an issue. Oh sure, an efficient motor would be an incentive, but i'm not gonna buy it if it doesent match my "accelerative needs" heh heh heh... | |

Only about 750 miles on the truck so far. 16 MPG average, about what I expected, the average should go up as the engine breaks in. Mostly city driving with one fairly long highway trip (in the mountains though). For the size, comfort and power I'm pretty impressed. My old minivan didn't do all that much better and it didn't have 4WD. |

| 12- 13 mpg in city | |

Since April '99 averaging 26mpg in mixed driving. -juice |

When the truck was new, I got 20.1 on all highway miles (didn't exceed 65 mph) Current highway avg: 18 mpg (~75mph) Worst highway: 16.5 (+80MPH) Just did city: 14 mpg I don't do use the truck for local errands. I just did this past weekend and was amazed by the mileage. No complaints though 'cuz I do have a heavy right foot <G>. |

| I have 2200 miles on it. The best tank was 20 mpg. I average between 16-17 on each tank though. I really enjoy the smooth ride. The room is great and it doesn't feel top-heavy like the Expedition did to me. | |

Our 99 Expedition (2WD) averages 14 in the city and 15 on the highway. No complaints, just reporting the numbers. We are in the market for a 3rd vehicle (two new teenage drivers - 4 drivers/2 cars don't work no more!). We are seriously considering the Acura MDX or the Toyota Highlander. Acura MDX epa estimates are 17/23. Toyota Highlander (V6/4WD) estimates are low/mid 20s. |

17-18 mpg with 70% highway. Just finished break-in period so I'd expect it will get a little better. Could be worse if I use my lead foot more often. |
