Wondered what type of gas mileage fellow '18+ Expy owners have been getting. I've had my '18 Limited 4x4 non-Max for just over 1 month, mostly city driving or very short freeway runs, drive 34 miles/day to/from work on 2wd and I'm barely getting 15mpg, normally around 14.5-14.9mpg (on new, properly inflated tires). Since the sticker says it should get 17 city / 22 highway or 19mpg average, I'm somewhat surprised mine is so poor, but I drive aggressively, so there's that (and I speed!). The best mileage I got was driving 65 freeway miles home from the dealer, I averaged 18-19 doing 75-80 most of the way, which is better than my '16 Explorer got! How about others?

PS - 10 years ago I had an '08 Expedition EB 4x4 and got about 14mpg average, so the '18 isn't much better. That was when gas was $4/gallon so a tank cost $100 (ouch!). As much as i loved it, i had to sell it as money was tight then.

When I drive ours (2018 4x4 Max LTD) around our house/work I get around 17. When my wife drives, she gets around 14-15. It seems to make a huge difference if you stay off of the turbos, but the gas pedal is 2 position for my wife...

You should search the forum for existing threads on MPG. I can think of about 5 off the top of my head.

Here is a screen shot of the MPG for the life of my 2018 Navigator. The last fill up had a bunch of idling and forest service road driving so it’s not representative of typical around town driving. 17-18 is typical for around town, 21-22 for highway, 11-12 when towing my overland trailer. 7BB3F714-5369-4EB1-93D6-902A87BEEDCB.png

18 XLT Max FX4. Living in a hilly area which gets stop and go traffic during rush hours 60% city 40% highway. Averaging 14.8. I really don't know if it's good or bad or average. Definitely not good tho.
