- 2016 Explorer Sport
hello everyone.. i need help and fast..
Im new to the forum and to the new explorers
Here's what happened... My wife bought a used 2016 Explorer Sport yesterday.. beautiful SUV
I am a mpg person to where as I drive I gander at it. I know that these love gas which is ok for us.
But we bought the car yesterday- well not signed anything but they let us take it home for the next day for test driving. We filled up the tank. $48ish @$2.89 which came to around 16.6 gallons. (normal?)
The fuel gauge was to the top (full)
I did not see the tank range only until after i got home from the gas station which was exactly 32.2 miles away; highway.
So when i looked at the fuel tank range, at that point, till "E" (empty) it said "146" miles left. and the gas gauge was a little under full. Then after another test drive it was between Full and 3/4, we were at 122 miles till "E"
On fuelly it shows something different.
Is there something wrong here??
We have the option of returning the explorer and not purchasing it or picking out 2018 limited they have. But im new to SUVs and it kind of shocked me that a full tank, or in this case, just under full tank (after 32 miles of driving) its showing 146 miles left till empty.
Normal? something wrong? We have to either buy the car today or give it back so i need help fast
Thank you everyone
Also side note question: Sport is the only explorer that is Twin Turbo and limited is single turbo?
sorry for the lack of knowledge. i am a car guy but fords turbos system always confuses me.
