2018 Expedition XLT Gas Mileage Questions

[Paddler]

Mine's 4WD too. I was responding the the question about whether all Expy's with the HD tow package are 4WD, when he said ford.ca it wouldn't let you build a 2WD with HD tow.

I think my gas mileage thread has been hijacked......

Yep, sorry. First tank, about 437.5 miles, 152 miles to empty, 20.6MPG according to the computer. Mixed city/highway. I actually floored it briefly today, head snapped back, 5500RPM in first gear before a snappy shift into second. Fun in a sophomoric sort of way. Dealer filled the tank, don't know if they topped it off. A range of 600 miles is "A" okay. Extremely happy with this new generation. Back on thread.

Okay. 494.9 miles to the first fill up, 24.1 gallons, for 20.5MPG. Driving pretty easy, combined city/highway. Thinking a steady 65-70MPH on the freeway would get me 23-24MPG.

I have a Limited, SWB, 4 x 4, Heavy Duty Trailer Tow (3.73 Rear End) , with our current hot outdoor temperatures (90's) I am getting 13.2 MPG according to the truck's computer, in city driving with frequent stop and go at traffic lights. My truck has about 1,200 miles. I have only made one short highway trip, I got 20 MPG driving between 70-75 mph, this trip with before having 1,000 miles, driving in 2H without any trailer etc.

Filled up today, 514 miles and 25.5 gallons, for 20.1MPG combined city/highway. Quite pleased.

Just completed an approx. 2,500 mile trip to FlA, (Amelia Island) I set the cruise at approx. 79 mph (beware Waze constantly showed approx. 1 mph faster, this is perhaps on of my first cars that is too conservative on the speedo) Actual via calculation method was perhaps 20.5 (Trip Computer would show just over 21. Would alternate between Premium and Regular, could see a slight decrease with regular, but never enough to justify the price differential.

I am sure if I could keep things around 70, MPG would be much better.

Max, 4WD, with Tow Package

That's pretty amazing, in the neighborhood of 20% better than my 2008. I drove 63MPH on the freeway today, I think it was about 26MPG.

Amateurs. And I used premium.

I hope you're towing.
