How much gas your Expedition use?

[Milwaukee]

After first tune and trans shifting late i got 6.7, new tune with hard shifs at later rpm I avg. 9.8 all highway and heavy throttle. You want to save gas get a vacuum gauge and keep it at -10 and you will see improvement. when gauge is at 0 you are sucking fuel

I was curious as well.....

I would venture to say its being lifted and has much to do with the stage two cams. Designed for hp, not low rpm fuel economy.

That was kinda my thought too. I get higher then that myself.

I believe it mostly the lift and cams like Tom said. The wheel and tires are heavy and the big part with that is I have not regeared yet. Still has the stock 3.73 don't want to regear till I add my suspension lift and just knock it out all at once. With my plan is 4.88 with 39x14.50x20. I'm curious to see what it will be next week after swapping pulley sizes from 2.87 to a 2.50 on the SC.

I got 16.5 this weekend over 220 miles with 150 of that spent running back and forth to move things to a storage building. not bad IMO I was expecting less...wayyy less
