MPG Advice

[WJD_xlt]

2wd XLT, no tow package. I had a lift on, with 33” tires on 20” tires. I keep the auto start/stop off and leave it in eco mode

14-16 city driving

19-20mpg highway at 65-70mpg

Yep, Canada uses the imperial gallon. I thought everyone knew that.

Not since the 70's actually, we have been metric since then. So most of the younger generations probably don't know about it. Us old farts still use both.

I have posted this before but it has been a while so there is more data now. Fuelly.com compiles user data to show what mpg people are actually getting. No, it is not the most robust data set ever and it is self-reported data, so take it for what it is. I also didn't parse the data to differentiate between trim levels, axle ratio, etc. Anyway:

Based on data from 51 vehicles, 1,562 fuel-ups and 519,072 miles of driving, the 2018 Ford Expedition gets a combined Avg MPG of 16.75 with a 0.11 MPG margin of error.


Based on data from 22 vehicles, 257 fuel-ups and 73,657 miles of driving, the 2019 Ford Expedition gets a combined Avg MPG of 15.79 with a 0.49 MPG margin of error.

This just shows that how you drive impacts fuel economy. Over 20K miles, using calculated figures, I'm averaging over 20MPG. This in a Max XLT AWD, combined City/Highway. I'd like to drive 65MPH on cruise control for one full tank. But, that would take me close to 700 miles. Hard to do that.

I would say the data for 2018 is pretty darn close for combined city and highway driving (50-50). The ones that drive more highway will average higher and the reverse for more city. (IMHO) The data for 2019's are kind of all over the place, not enough data to smooth it out yet. No change to the truck really so they should end up the same.
