Hey folks,

The last MPG survey was quite arbitrary. Not nearly enough information was provided by most users to make rational assessments of actual comparisons of vehicle MPGs.

So for this MPG survey, PLEASE state the following options on your Explorer.

[list=1]
- Engine type (4.0L OHV, 4.0L SOHC or 5.0L)
- Transmission type (4sp Auto, 5sp Auto or 5sp Manual)
- Gear Ratio (ie.. 3.08s, 3.27s, 3.55s,3.73s or 4.10s)
- Tire Size Diameter (in inches)
- Speedometer Corrected after gear of tire size changed ??(N/A ,YES or NO) - Driveline type (2 OR 4 Wheel Drive)
- List Mods that you have done that directly effect MPG only (MAF, TB, headers, Chips, Lift kits etc...)
- And finally... MPG City/Hwy/Avg
[/list=1]

Please refrain from additional commentary (at this time) so it will be easier for members to make comparions.

Thanks and Enjoy!!

Did you correct your speedometer for the gear change ??

5. verified, its stock
6. 4x4
7. totally stock
8. 16 city, 20 Hwy

What kills the milage with larger tires, is it the larger contact area, the diameter or the weight. It seems to me the diameter increase would be the same as putting economy gears in. Also, seems like a trail or mud tire would lower the milage more than a street radial everything else being equal. I was going to go 32 x 11.5 but i wonder if 32 x 9.5 would have less effect on milage, of course that size is usually a mud tire. I do hit sand alot so I kind of want the wider tire, maybe 31s. :(

Hey all, Ive got a 1997 Medium willow paint XLT. Its got a 4.0 SOHC backed by the 5 speed 5R55E tranny with auto 4x4 3.55 gears. It has 127500 exactly. Ive had it for 2 months and wouldnt trade it for anything. About 20 MPG stock. Mods in place, a crank case breather. Mods on the way, dual glass packs, some sort of air intake, not sure what and anything else i can find.ill keep you all posted as i get my mods!

1- 4.0 OHV
2- Auto
3- 3.55 or 3.73 (Its an old EB. Since it was a higher trim level, the truck -- I seem to recall -- came from the factory configured to handle towing a small boat or something. So I am leaning towards the lower 3.73 without other info. in front of me)
4- 235/75/15s ATs, "29s"
5-Uncorrected
6- 4WD
7- KKM Intake, Warn Manual Hubs, Jet Chip, Edelbrock RPM Series Muffler and custom tubing, Synthetic Fluids throughout.
8- 21 City/ 25 Hwy (Cruise set at 65mph; To determine highway mileage, we kept careful records of fuel consumption and miles travelled on a recent 500 mile round trip)



We've had this truck for 18 years and it was originally getting 16 City/19 Hwy. Today it has well over 200k on it, though the odometer seems to have malfunctioned sometime after it hit the 2 century mark. We may be approaching 250k at this point.

Things like the synthetic fluids and exhaust may have added 1-2 mpg over the years. Uncertain of Jet Chip's effect on mileage. Manual hubs -- less drag -- probably helped too but I had my mind on replacing a busted one more than on any changes in mpg.

But I'll have to say getting rid of the air box/K&N panel in favor of a KKM intake kit was probably worth 2-3mpg. The KKM was a real stand-out modification. MAF electronics coped with the intake change no problem.

Of course, we've never had this Ex on anything but stock-sized 29" AT tires. Moving up to 30s/31s ATs or MTs wouldn't do the mpg any favors. Course we could always do some 31MTs and regear!
