derekrice Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 '08 LTD Standard 4WD All-Season 3.73 Avg City 15 Avg HWY 18 Moderate Recently completed a trip to FL, fully loaded include a cargo box on the back that weighed about 300 lbs. 4 tanks of gas, 18, 20, 19 & 17 (in a hurry to get home I guess . . .) First time I've ever had an Expy get 20 mph on a tank. Mine is only a month old, not 4K yet. Overall very pleased with the fuel economy on a vehicle of this size . . .

Rob052067 Posted August 30, 2007 Author Share Posted August 30, 2007 Thanks for the posts so far guys. Some pretty good sounding numbers on the 4WD models. I plan on getting a 2008 standard-length XLT 2WD w/3.31 with all-season tires next spring. I'm hoping to see some reports of better than 16 city and 20 hwy with a similar spec'd model. (I normally get 15-16 city and 20-21 hwy with my 2004 GMC Yukon 4.8L 2WD w/3.23 and all-season tires.) Keep the stats coming... Thanks!

Baumbach Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 (edited) Model 08 Limited Style Standard Drivetrain 4WD Tires All-Season Axle Ratio 3.31 Average City MPG: 15 Average Hwy MPG: 18-20 Driver Personality Moderate Details at http://Baumbach.com/Expedition.htm Actual about 15 city/highway, 18 highway at 75-80mph. 20 highway at 65. I find the average mile per gallon reported by the message center is up to 2 miles per gallon higher than the actual miles per gallon. I took a long 1,000 mile road trip and anther tank of gas doing some local driving. I reset the trip meter and the message center average miles per gallon at each fill-up and ran it till the tank was near empty, and then I filled it up and divided the actual miles driven by the actual gallons of gas used. The actual miles per gallon was always less then reported by the message center by anywhere from 0.5 to 2 gallons per tank full of gas.

Rob052067 Posted September 1, 2007 Author Share Posted September 1, 2007 (edited) Thanks Baumbach. Looks like you've spent a lot of time on your Expy webpage and are really 'into' your vehicles. I'll check back often to see your latest details. I wonder if the discrepency in the MPG is a result of the 20" wheels? Anyone else see this issue? I hope it's not a common problem. The readout in my Yukon has always been dead-on accurate. Edited September 1, 2007 by Rob052067 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob052067 Posted September 2, 2007 Author Share Posted September 2, 2007 Those are impressive MPG figures for a 4WD model, Ernest. Even good for a 2WD! :yup: I agree about the ride. In the test drives I've taken, the Expy's ride and handling is much better than my '04 Yukon's. One dealer had a course with various obstacles and such...it's no Porsche, but it really handle's well!
