Fuel and distance

[Lanky]

Just wonder what some of you with an 06 Expy with 3.73 gears are seeing for mpg #'s and also how many miles you are getting out of a tank on the highway. Trying to decide between Expy and Pilot. Vehicle would not be a daily driver, but mostly used on weekends for baseball trips during the summer months.

i dont have a second gen, but i have heard meany times 16-20 maybe alittle more maybe alittle less depending on driving style..ect on a road trip i'd expect 400+ miles on a tank.

i know with my older expy i can get 17 pretty easily on road trips.

I got 18 on the highway with four people and all the stuff for a week vacation. 400+ to the tank and I could have gotten more but wanted to be safe. Didn't know where the fuel stops were.

I can get 18-19 on the highway. I never push the range to know how far I can actually go, but when I fill up, it usually shows just north of 400 miles left on the tank.

Hmm, damn, guess I gotta slow down haha. Last fill up was 14 mpg, 260-280 miles from full to quarter tank.

The one before was 12, but I needed an oil change.

17-19mpg and I've pulled 415 on a tank no prob. But keep in mind I don't have a life other then maintaining my vehicles better then my marriage...

I've always thought this would work:

28 gal tank * 90% of usable fuel = 25.2 gal * 18mpg = 453.6 miles

about 430 if my math is right...323 with 115 left...

If MPG is an issue.. Get a pilot.. If you want space, armor, and passenger capacity.. Get the Expy...

The Pilot's do not look that much bigger than my Explorer. MPG is not that much of an issue for me since I have only put just over 100,000 miles on my Ex since buying it used in '02 (139,*** miles on it now). I want room and a comfortable, quiet ride, plus I have always loved the looks of the Eddie Bauer Expy's. Those qualities are worth losing a few mpg's to me.
