Gas Milage....

[Council2]

Just wandering what kind of milage you guys are getting out of your rides?
I have a 2003 Expidition XLT city I get around 13.2 but highway I get around 13.8. Seems odd to me that highway is so poor. I have only had truck for about 4 mths so I don't know if this is normal or not?
4.6 L. All stock still.
168,000 miles

Well, the epa only rated it at 13 and 18 (14 combined) for the 2 wheel drive version and the 4x4 at 12 and 17 (13 combined). And that was when it was new.

My 1999 I've been getting about 14 city and 21 highway.

My 2007 is 15MPG in the city and about 20-22 on the highway.

I have one just like yours, 2003 XLT with the 4.6. Mine is 4x4, and I have 78,000 on it. I get anywhere from 13-16 mixed urban/highway driving. I have not made any mods to mine.

Just seems weird to me that it doesnt do better on highway milage, when I bought it it was getting 15.1, just return from highway trip, and has went as low as 12.2 now sits around 13.6 or so no matter how I drive it. BTW it is 4 wheel drive also.
Thanks for the replys I guess it is normalish...lol

When was your last tuneup? Air filter and throttle body cleans....could be time for new O2 sensors.

I just got back from a 400 mile trip to Nuevo Casas Grandes Chihuahua, Mexico. Our average speed for the trip ( Highway ) was 75 MPH ( Not KMH ) and we averaged 21.4 MPG ( Hand Calculated ) for the trip ( Highway and city driving ) the overhead display and the Edge both read an average of 21.9 MPG.

The Expy is a '02 EB 2wd with the 5.4 Heavy tow package and 3.55 LSD rear axle and the 30 gallon fuel tank. We left with a full tank and returned 3 days later with 38% of the tank remaining ( according to the Edge, Fuel gauge just a hair over 1/4 ).

Truck is NOT stock has rear cat delete, CAI, TB spacer, 2 into 1 70 series Flowmaster, and the Edge CS on power level 3 with custom options ( changed shift points 1-2= +3 2-3= +2 3-4= -5, shift firmness +15% on all, added 1.5 deg timing, WOT @ 1.3 ) this was with 90 Ocatane.

The Expy was also fully loaded carring 8 people, with all of the luggage straped on top of the factory roof rack.
