I definitely need an exhaust and an actual CAI. I only have a drop in filter, and no Gott's Mod. I'm hoping to get a tuner, a catback, a high flow Cat and a CAI by the 1st of the year. It would be nice if I could see 18mpg city. I've heard stories of nearly 30mpg hwy... Sounds mythical but we shall see.

I hope you get some perspective if you look at this list from Bloombergs
Pain at the pump

I made the link to start with my country...

That is a good visual but the article says your country is the 10th biggest consumer of gasoline. that seems to indicate that your medium income is high enough to offset the cost or other goods are so much cheaper that it works out.

After doing some research I found out that that is not the case and you guys get the shaft in almost every area. But at least your not fat.:burnout:

But we have a King!
But seriously, a Ford Expedition is not the most economical vehicle in good old Sweden: Gas 100% more expensive. Insurance 1200 USD and traffic tax 875 USD/year.
But me and the old lady just look at each other and smile with delight when we hit the road. ITS WORTH IT!

Have not had mine all that long but comparing gas put in to the display and adding fuel it seems in town to be getting about 12-13, on a longer run of 80 miles 15-17.

I did not buy for economy but comfort and it delivers that and power-not towing but I am going to have to break the spare loose as cannot tell actual inflation---spent some time today reconnection of the wires for the rear defroster which I think will not function until it gets a bit colder.

If you want gas mileage, my 94 Explorer got about 17 on the road, get what you pay for. Eighty dollars of Canadian fuel today and (I think this EB has a 30 gallon tank) is a bit over three quarters.

I get a solid 13+ around town and my last road trip was 17 with the cruise set at 70. A/C on and flying over the hills! If I were to slow down (haha yeah right) I could get 18-19 on the highway.

Hey Csharpe, where did you source your throttle body and IAC? And what were your numbers prior?

Prior to the IAC and Throttle Body I got, 9.5 to 12.3 depending on my foot.
After the parts I get 11.4 to 12.9 city and as high as 16.4 HWY.

I bought a used Throttle body from ebay about $70 with shipping. The IAC I bought locally for about $30 (Napa, I think)

I also bought a new gasket for the throttle body. It took a few stores to source it. I think I finally ordered it from NAPA.

What station?

Holy Rollerz Christian Car Club (HRC3)


Farm Fresh on 17! However, I kinda cheated. I had coupons.


I HIGHLY recommend you buy your groceries at Farm Fresh on 17 or the one on Coliseum (both have gas stations). They offer VERY fresh products, a military discount on ALL store brand items.... AND.... For every $10 you spend, you save $.01 on gas. So, if you spend $142 on groceries, you save $.14 per gallon, up to 20 gallons. You were gonna spend that money ANYWAYS!, so spend it at Farm Fresh and save some money. The coupons are good for 1 month, and you can use 5 coupons at a time. I saved $.71 PER GALLON today, for 20 gallons! Filled the Expy for $48 and some change....

It's not. However, that Farm Fresh doesn't have an attached gas station. Williamsburg, Yorktown, and Hampton are the only ones that give discount gas coupons.
