Gas mileage with the 4.0L??

[shauno]

Hey guys, I'm lookin at purchasing an explorer pretty quick here, and was wondering what kind of gas mileage to expect form the 4.0L, in the 91-94 model, 4x4, with an auto. What kind of mileage are you getting? grade of fuel? mods? thanks guys

 

[makaveli911]

about 12 miles a gallon on unleaded on city and about 17 on highway

 

[Gannon]

Approx. 12-14 city 18-20 highway. Regular unleaded. All stock.

Hey shauno as another Canadian I can tell you my best was a recent road trip ,536 km.per tank 63litres to fill so about 24 mile to the gallon in my 92,remember our gallon is bigger than the U.S. one, I average 450 km. per tank full to empty. hope this helps.

 

[shauno]

Thanks guys, thats not too bad I guess.....

hey toad, thanks, 450km to a tank is pretty decent, my 95 3.0L Ranger gets a little less than that....Anything around 400 per tank is great.

I guess comparatively speaking, my 12-13mpg around town isn't as bad as I thought... I think I averaged about 15mpg on the highway...

 

[espnfreak]

i get about 20 mpg with my 96 4.0 auto but thats with borla and k&N

 

[JDraper]

My old '92 Sport w/5spd and a cat back Flowmaster averaged about 18-20 mpg. Best I ever got was 22 on a long trip. Around town, the worst I got was about 16.

 

[David S.]

16 in town and 20 on the highway, 106,000 miles.

We can get 25 on the higway and 20 in town, all stock except for some replacement parts.

 

[jimbo74]

200 miles per tank.... like 10 city and 15-20 on the hiway.....but i have bad o2 sensors and probably a dirty mas, operate once and awhile on 5 cylinders, no aerodynamics, k&n filter flow 40 muffler, and 31s with 3.73 gears and automatic

Gas milage???? What's that????

I don't keep track anymore. I can tell you my 94 sport did 355 miles on a full tank of gas bone stock on 87, without the AC on & 1 person(me) on a 3000 mile HW trip.

But now with all the mods I have done, I get around 215 miles on a full tank, with the AC on, 1 person, & HW/City mix.

I average about 17 mpg with combined city and highway driving using midrange gas (89 octane). My truck is a mostly stock automatic, with 31's and 3.73 gears.

 

[config]

I get an average of 16 - 19 MPG (combined freeway and city) depending on traffic. That's with 87 octane and add-ons listed in sig.

 

['96explorereddiebauer]

I get around 16-18 mpg. I can drive around 330 miles until the "Check Gage" light comes on. But in order to get this kind of mileage, I need to drive like a grandpa...slow starts and early brakings (I'm only 19!!!). Oh well, it's all good.

 

[shauno]

great, thanks guys, that kinda mileage isn't too bad, about the same as my truck....I'm goin explorer shopping this weekend

Hey i have a 91 sport eddie baur and i get around 15mpg city and about 18-19 highway. I dunno why..but when i first bought it..i was gettin like 12mpg and now it moved up to 15..but, hey, im not complaining!!

 

[xwhaler]

14-16 City and 18-20 Highway Regular Unleaded
Get about 350 miles to Tank.

 

[wallygetsit]

I average 20-22mpg city and highway combined. That is unless my wife decides to turn the overdrive off then I have seen the mileage as bad as 18mpg.

Truck is completely stock.
