Hello from Missouri

[carlton100c]

I am new to the forum but not to Explorer. My 2003 Sport Trac replaced a 2000 Sport Trac I ordered the day they became available. My '03 has 83,000 miles and I am still in love with it. I am looking for suggestions for poor fuel mileage. It has dropped from 22 to 15 MPG.

Have you had a tune up lately? Done a compression test? Air/Fuel filter changed? Clean the MAF? Rear brakes? E-brakes? Diff/trans fluid change?

Cold intake air creates a richer mixture.

Welcome To Explorer Forum! I get good gas mileage all year round. Why you might ask, Because I drive like 4 miles to work and That's about all I drive for the week.
