Actual gas mileage

[Robert Smith]

Hi again everyone.

I am going to take my first trip across country in my Expedition without my travel trailer. Can anyone give me a reasonable expectation as to fuel mileage? Probably two passengers, a dog, and luggage.

Thank!

I wouldn't take my expy on a trip lol I've never seen it get higher than 12.9mpg, but in reality you should expect 15.5-17mpg, possibly slightly better if you actually maintain using the cruise control for acceleration and deacceleration

 

[Robert Smith]

Thank you. That’s what I was hoping for. I love cruise control so that’s a definite. I love my car too much to not take it

In my 05 with the 5.4 3v engine, and 120,000 miles on the clock - the first long trip 500+ miles (one way) we averaged 16.5 MPG at roughly 75 MPH on cruise control.

The 15, 16, and 17 all have the 3.5L EcoBoost engine and get better gas mileage than the 5.4L

I can usually squeeze 16mpg out of it on straight freeway, 75mph, being REALLY gentle. Lately it’s been 12-13 though and I’ve been blaming it on the cold but it’s warmed up a bit around here and I have seen no improvement so I’m going to have to start looking closer at it.
