After doing the Gotts mod (rest of the truck is stock, other than a K&N), we drove 100 highway miles (70+ mph) and all weekend going back and forth to baseball games (city driving), I averaged 15 mpg. Thrilled with that.

Our Expedition is just our weekend people hauler and my modern day musclecar (guzzler), and for that purpose, I have no problem with 12-15mpg.

If I had to drive this beast daily and feed the fuel tank ... that would be an unacceptable dent in the budget.

My all stock - no mods 2000 5.4 AWD EB 3.73 gears and 126,000 miles does not go past too many gas pumps without stopping. Overhead shows 11.3 around town, about 14.6 on the highway if I am on my best behavior - but there is no better way to roll!

districk, is your 2000 2 WD or AWD, I have only had mine about 2 mos. and wondering how much difference there is between the two with fuel consumption.

Just did a 500 mile round trip, 400 highway, 100 city, and several times stomping on it to hear the whine... 15.5 mpg. I measured strictlyhighway on (2) 70 mile trips, and got 19mpg. 100% city driving yields 10-12mpg depending on how heavy the foot is.

Mine is the AWD, you'll have to report back if your mods boost your numbers, I may want to go that route as well, any help in mpg would be cool
