What’s you’re avg. mpg in your expy

[1955moose]

Why would anybody even consider a $75k expedition then. Our members on the 4th edition website act like their buying a peanut butter sandwich. I guess money is relative. If your making over 100k a year, have a spouse that's making same, house is paid for or close to it, then making $900.00 monthly pmts are no biggy! Maybe it's just me, but buying a car that's as much as a house 30 years back just doesn't sit well with me. Same reason I don't buy any new Snap on tools, just too rich for me these days. Thank goodness I already own the tools!

Not to mention your buying said house and it will only be worth 1/2 original value in 4 years!

Why would that be, Hillary getting elected???

Unless your buying a collector car/truck, vehicles are by far the worst investment you can plunk your hard earned dollars on. Hell they lose $5 grand just rolling it off the dealers driveway! Eating/drinking at a fancy restaurant comes in a close second. Both gives us pleasure is why we keep doing it. But a $30,000 swing in price from sticker price is huge. When I got my low mileage 2000 expedition 3 1/2 years back, it felt like a new truck to me. Remember new memories in your vehicle can be the same with a new or 18 year old vehicle. New car smell deodorizer costs about $2.99 at Oreillys!

So I figured I started this thing I’ll update how things have been going. My 02 EB has 155,820 miles, has 16” COOPER discover at/3 tires that I keep at 42 psi, recently did a fluids change and filters replacement minus trans filter but that’s on its way. The only aftermarket parts on the truck are a set of air bags in the rear suspension to leave out trailers when towing and when I’m not towing it’s set at 25psi. Two weeks ago I reset my mpg to let it level back out. 90% of my driving is country with steep hills and a lot of curves. My average now is 12.2-12.4. I will soon start to replace battery,plugs,wires,starter,& alternator. Followed by exhaust system and air intake

He meant the price of the car...

Killary will NEVER be president!

John, never say never ! They said the same about Nixon way back when, but he got in! Then screwed up, and back out again. Remember his 1972 promise was to get us out of Vietnam, and through hook or I'm not a crook, he did. I turned 18 in 1973, so glad he kept that part of his word at least.

Please say never, no more Clintons ever. Never never never!

I'm going to quit whining about mine. Good googitty.

2002 5.4L averages 12.5. That's mostly city with 10-15 mile trips, but even on 4 hour trips, I only get 13-14.

You got to admit with Bill in office it wasn't dull! Democrats like to play. Clinton patterned himself after JFK, and we all know he couldn't keep it in his trousers! Remember Marilyn? Bobby had to make her go away!

I’m getting 16 mpg with a decent tune and supercharged. I get 12 when towing boat or RV

 

[Habbibie]

[01ExpeditionXLT]

The BEST mine will do is 19-20 (all hwy < 65 mph, summer)
Overall it is usually 15-17 mpg (mostly hwy driving).
2001 XLT 2WD 4.6 183k

Huuuh??

Kennedy was tripping balls on amphetamine in most every public appearance and dangerously paranoid.

The only redeeming feature about the man is he got himself shot before he could start WW3.


...how does that compare to chubby chaser Bill, whose most suspicious act was his choice of spouse?????

 

[1955moose]

Adieu that's sick man! He would have gone down in history as one of the top presidents ever. We were in a scary power struggle that he and his people defused. I was young at the time but remembered him stopping any action from Russia it was a scary time here. If you had your Pt boat blown out from under you by a Japanese destroyer, you'd be on pain pills too.

17 on HWY. 12 in town.

 

[Wal92tt]

About 10mpg city, 1999 EB 5.4 4x4 but running as 4x2 rear.

 

[AirborneJordan]

Well, I have not posted on the sight in a LONG time. I figure I might as well.
My Expedition is a 2007 XLT 5.4 4x4
Stock for now other that a cold air intake.
Driving is pretty well mixed "Country/ small town " and highway.
I drive like a " old granny on the way to church on Sunday morning"
The truck averages 13.5 mpg.
I use the Fuelio app. log every fill up.

Edit: I just noticed that this is in the " first gen section" sorry...I think I just got a little excited.

I bought it off a friend. He used to commute to work and I use it to haul stuff and usually drive it full of heavy stuff. I told him I'm averaging 10-11mpg and he said "you must be driving it hard I always got 12" LOL

But he sold it because he couldn't afford to drive it to work anymore because he had a 60 mile commute and gas was $4.50 a gallon at the time. Right after I got it, the price of gas dropped dramatically and we laughed that he can have it back.
