Here is the rundown of my Explorer/Escape/Ranger experiences:

~In my old '95 Explorer 2wd, OHV 4.0L V6, 4R55E automatic, I averaged around 15 city and 17 highway (low/high of 14/18).
~In my 2004 Sport Trac 2wd, SOHC 4.0L V6, 5R55S automatic, I average around 17 city and 20 highway (low/high of 15/22).
~In my old 2005 Escape 2wd, 3.0L V6, CD4E automatic, I averaged about 16 city and 19 highway (low/high of 15/23).
~In my 2004 Explorer 4x4, 4.6L V8, 5R55W automatic, I average about 14 city and 18 highway (low/high of 13/18.5).
~In my old 1993 Ranger 2wd, 3.0L V6, A4LD automatic, regular cab/short box, I averaged about 12 city and 14 highway (low/high of 11/15).

And just for kicks a couple of my other recent vehicles and toys:
~In my 2001 Silverado 2500HD 4x4, 6.0L V8, 4L80E automatic, regular cab/long box, I average about 13 city and 15 highway (low/high of 11/18).
~In my old 2005 Silverado 2500HD 4x4, 6.6L diesel V8, Alison 1000 5-speed automatic, crew-cab/short box, I averaged about 17 city and 20 highway (low/high of 16/22 - the mileage hardly varied loaded or unloaded).
~In my 2007 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 4x4, 3.8L V6, 42RLE automatic, I average about 16 city and 18 highway (low/high of 15/19).

Mind you all of these are all hand-calculated and logged mileages. I've found with most of these that if you stay at 65mph or less on the highway, the gas mileage improves greatly.

I would say anyone getting over 20 is driving a 2 WD. My 4X4 '02 with 225k miles gets around 18 on the highway and 14 to 16 around town. Has never varied by much. I can take it easy and drive like an old man (which I almost am ) and get 21.5 on the interstate without many hills.
Friends V8 does the same.

Can anybody give me an advice on what to check on my 02 4.0 EB, it only gives me 9.8 hwy and 9.4 city.....it is driving me crazy and my pocket empty.....did a tune up ( genuine parts) cleaned the TB.....i haven't check for a pressure regulator yet....Any advice???

I get 18-20 mpg mostly on country roads, and some city drivin.

These trucks are very sensitive to driving habits.

My 04 Mounty 2WD 4.0 /w tune-up and 38psi in the tires will easily get north of 20 cruising at 70mph. With cruise control I can get a little over 400 miles out of a tank of 89 octane.

In city driving I get 14-15 because I'm type-a and do lots of rabbit starts from red lights and stop signs.
