    What's your gas Mileage?

    The info posted was for a 1998 explorer. I have a 96. Now I know everytime I fill the tank up, I only get 14 gallons. So if you are saying that I have a 17 gallon tank, where is the rest of the fuel going.

    AIR/FUEL Gage- How does it works.

    I have a Autometer Air/fuel ratio gage and i dont know how it works. I read the intructions, but im just not understanding the terminology. My gage bouces back and forth crazy.

    Wal-Mart Synthetic Oil

    Quick question about the use of synthetic oils in our explorer. I heard if you switch to synthetic oils, you can not switch back to regular oil in the future. You have to keep using synthetic oils.
